Differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells to chondrocytes using electrospraying.

ABSTRACT: An important challenge in the fabrication of tissue engineered constructs for regenerative medical applications is the development of processes capable of delivering cells and biomaterials to specific locations in a consistent manner. Electrospraying live cells has been introduced in recent years as a cell seeding method, but its effect on phenotype nor genotype has not been explored. A promising candidate for the cellular component of these constructs are human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs), which are multipotent stem cells that can be differentiated into fat, bone, and cartilage cells. They can be easily and safely obtained from adipose tissue, regardless of the age and sex of the donor. Moreover, these cells can be maintained and expanded in culture for long periods of time without
