Figure 6 From: Microenvironmental changes during differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells towards chondrocytes Major changes in the expression of various components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) during the differentiation of MSCs into chondrocytes. CCL, chemokine CC motif ligand; CCR, chemokine CC motif receptor; Col, collagen; CXCR, chemokine CXC motif receptor; ITG, insulin-transferrin-selenic acid; MMP, metalloprotease; MSC, mesenchymal stem cell.Back to article page
