  • CHONDROGENIC DIFFERENTIATION MEDIA AND METHODS FOR INDUCING CHONDROGENIC DIFFERENTIATION OF CELLS
    Publication number: 20130336937
    Abstract: The invention provides chondrogenic differentiation media comprising chondrogenic growth factors and low-molecular-weight sulfated polysaccharide derivatives of marine native exopolysaccharides (EPS) excreted by mesophilic marine bacteria from deep-sea hydrothermal environments. The invention relates to methods for inducing chondrogenic differentiation in pluripotent or multipotent cells, to cartilage tissues obtained by such methods, and to the use of such cartilage tissues for therapeutic purposes.
