Cell-to-Cell Culture Inhibits Dedifferentiation of Chondrocytes and Induces Differentiation of Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

<div>COL2 protein levels were characterized by immunofluorescence. Immunofluorescence stain of COL2 is shown in green. (a) hUC-MSCs alone; (b) direct coculture (50 : 50) at 14 days; (c) direct coculture (50 : 50) at 21 days; (d) direct coculture (50 : 50) at 28 days. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, blue color). Scale bar is 50 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
