Link Protein N-Terminal Peptide as a Potential Stimulating Factor for Stem Cell-Based Cartilage Regeneration

<div>Pellets formed by CSPCs after 2-week chondrogenic differentiation induction. (a) General view of pellets. Bar = 1 mm. (b) Safranin O staining of sections (thickness is less than 2 <i>μ</i>m). Bar = 200 <i>μ</i>m. (c) Toluidine blue staining of sections. Bar = 200 <i>μ</i>m. (d) Immunohistochemistry test of collagen type II. The collagen type II was labeled in yellow. Bar = 200 <i>μ</i>m. (e) SOX9 was labeled in brown in IHC assays. Bar = 200 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
