Genetic characterization of chondrogenic pellet generated from CBMC-hiPSCs. The expression of COL2A1, ACAN, COMP, and SOX9 in day 10, 20, and 30 chondrogenic pellets. Data was obtained using RT-PCR and band intensity was evaluated. (^{*, +} p < 0.05, ^**, ⁺⁺ p < 0.01, ^{***, +++} p < 0.001). ACAN aggrecan gene, COL2A1 collagen type II gene, COMP cartilage oligomeric matrix protein gene, hiPSC human induced pluripotent stem cell, SOX9 sex-determining region Y-box 9 gene
