Abstract
In this study, fibroblasts were harvested and isolated from a healthy 14-year-old male donor and reprogrammed with four Yamanaka factors containing Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc to generate human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines. The resulting iPSCs were integration-free, expressed normal karyotype, displayed pluripotency markers, and have been demonstrated to differentiate into cells with three germ layer. And the iPSCs were further differentiated to chondrosphere in vivo. The models could be used to test multiple differentiation protocols and also as a control for screening drugs and studying cartilage related disease.
