Chondrocytes differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells: Response to ionizing radiation

Summary

The chondrocyte-like cells derived from hiPSC demonstrated features characteristic of both mature chondrocytes and "parental" hiPSCs. The main difference between hiPSC-derived chondrocytes and hiPSCs and mature chondrocytes appears to be the more efficient DDR mechanism of hiPSC-DCHs. The unique properties of these cells suggest that they could potentially be used safely in regenerative medicine if these preliminary findings are confirmed in future studies.
