A METHOD FOR PROVIDING A CARTILAGE IMPLANT WITH CHONDROCYTES

Disclosed is a method for differentiating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into chondrocytes. The method comprises the steps of seeding a surface of a substrate with iPSCs. The surface is coated with nanoparticles in a particle density of at least 500 particles/µm2, and parts of the surface in...

Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method for differentiating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into chondrocytes. The method comprises the steps of seeding a surface of a substrate with iPSCs. The surface is coated with nanoparticles in a particle density of at least 500 particles/µm2, and parts of the surface in between said nanoparticles are coated with a coating agent. Growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) molecules are attached to the nanoparticles. The method further comprises the steps of adding a first differentiation medium to the seeded iPSCs, and allowing the seeded iPSCs to differentiate at least into chondrocyte progenitor cells on the surface in the presence of the first differentiation medium.
