From: Microenvironmental changes during differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells towards chondrocytes
Modulation of the expression of cell-surface proteins on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). (a) and (b) Change in the protein levels of various surface markers during chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs (n = 2) in the micropellet. (c) Change in the protein levels at the surface of MSCs cultured in monolayer with human BMP-2 for 48 hours. CCR, chemokine CC motif receptor; CXCR, chemokine CXC motif receptor; MCAM, melanoma cell adhesion molecule; SEM, standard error of the mean; VCAM, vascular cell adhesion molecule.
