Chondrogenic Potency Analyses of Donor-Matched Chondrocytes and Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Bone Marrow, Infrapatellar Fat Pad, and Subcutaneous Fat

Chondrogenic assessments of pellet cultures across cell types. (a) Production of GAG/DNA in pellet cultures from chondrocytes (Ch), bone marrow MSC (BM), fat pad MSC (FP), and subcutaneous fat MSC (SCF) for all donors combined. (b) Chondrogenic histology scores for Ch, BM, FP, and SCF for all donors combined. (c) Mean chondrogenic pellet diameter (μm) for Ch, BM, FP, and SCF for all donors combined. Data shown are the means the standard deviation of triplicate pellets and 5 donors for each cell population. One-way ANOVA and post hoc Bonferroni tests were used to test for significant differences between cell types.
