Transcriptional Profiling of Early Differentiation of Primary Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells into Chondrocytes

In order to better understand chondrogenic differentiation, especially the commitment phase, investigators performed transcriptional profiling of MSC differentiation into chondrocytes from early timepoints starting 15 minutes after induction to 16 hours and fully differentiated chondrocytes at 21 days in triplicates.
