Primary Human Chondrocytes-New
Derived from hMSCs

Potent, Pure and Stable Chondrocytes

We continue to work with our partners to develop pure and stable cultures of primary human cells derived from our commercially available eSC and UCB derived stem cells. Working with Dr. Jim Musick of Vitro Biopharma, we are pleased to be one of the first to offer primary human chondrocytes.

These cells produce collagen and are critical to proper joint function. Joint disease and injury often involve defects in collagen production and/or damage to chondrocytes due to inflammation, disease or injury. This makes them excellent for use in the basic research and development of therapies for diseases of the joint.

We offer both label and unlabeled cells with the number of cells available ranging from 100,000 to 4,000,000. Our desire is to make it easy to “buy and try”. We also want to have a convenient way to ramp up your assays for higher content and through put screening.

All lots of our chondrocytes cells are cultured and characterized in house (includes testing by PCR methods for known viral such as contaminants and mycoplasma). The multi-cell structures average 20 micrometers in diameter with minimal amounts of non-differentiated MSCs (<10%).
