Comparison of the efficiency of laminin versus fibronectin as a differential adhesion assay for isolation of human articular cartilage derived chondroprogenitors.

Conclusion: This was the first attempt to successfully isolate human articular cartilage derived chondroprogenitor clones using laminin, which retained stem cell like characteristics. Further evaluation to optimize this method will help enhance chondroprogenitor characteristics, for use in cartilage repair. PMID: 32406271 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
