Relative expression of specific cartilage-related genes evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR during 28 days of chondrogenic induction. All results are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (n ≥ 3). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001, day x vs day 3 for a same cell source. ### p < 0.001, WJ-MSC vs BM-MSC for a same culture time. BM-MSC bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells, COMP cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, COL collagen, WJ-MSC Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells
