Placenta to cartilage: direct conversion of human placenta to chondrocytes with transformation by defined factors

Placenta to cartilage: direct conversion of human placenta to chondrocytes with transformation by defined factors

A combination of only five genes—BCL6, T, c-MYC, MITF, and BAF60C—rapidly and efficiently converts postnatal human amnion into chondrocytes. This direct conversion system from noncartilage tissue to cartilaginous tissue is a major advance toward understanding cartilage development, cell-based therap...
