Arthritis Rheum 2006; 54:3254-3266. This study provides evidence that common protocols for in-vitro chondrogenesis of MSCs induce a differentiation program similar to endochondral bone formation and lead to transient cartilage rather than stable articular chondrocytes, which are resistant to hypertrophy in culture.
