摘要：Human placenta-derived stem cells (hPDSCs) were isolated by trypsinization and further induced into cartilage cells in *** engineered cartilage was constructed by combining hPDSCs with collagen sponge and the cartilage formation was observed by implantation into nude *** showed that hPDSCs featured mesenchymal stem cells and maintained proliferation in vitro for over 30 passages while remaining *** results indicated that hPDSCs have the potential to differentiate into functional cartilage cells in vitro when combined with collagen sponge,which provided experimental evidence for prospective clinical application.
