In Vitro Chondrogenic Differentiation is Improved by the BMP7-Derived Peptide p[63-82].
The BMP7-derived peptide p[63-82] improves a healthy chondrocyte phenotype and attenuates chondrocyte hypertrophy in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes. In cartilage regeneration strategies, chondrogenic differentiation of progenitor cells is often hampered by hypertrophic differentiation of the newly formed cartilagino...
