Will MSC micropellets outperform single cells for cartilage regeneration?

(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) Repair of cartilage injuries or defects is aided by the introduction of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which can be incorporated into hydrogels to amplify their effects. In a new report, researchers directly compared chondrogenic induction by hydrogels that were prepared using MSCs either as single cell suspensions or as 100-500-cell micropellets.
