Genetic Markers Can Predict Chondrogenic Differentiation Potential in Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Figure 2

Dendrogram of the expression profiles of eight candidate prediction marker genes. Hierarchical cluster analysis of gene expression levels was performed using the nearest-neighbor algorithm of SPSS. The horizontal dendrogram shows rescaled cumulative distances of clusters. The eight identified genes were classified into groups 1 and 2 according to the gene expression profiles.
