Fig. 4From: In vitro study of cartilage tissue engineering using human adipose-derived stem cells induced by platelet-rich plasma and cultured on silk fibroin scaffoldRelative mRNA expression of type 2 collagen (a), aggrecan (b), and type 1 collagen (c) in ADSC-SS PRP and control groups on day 7, 14, and 21. On day 21, ADSC-SS with PRP supplementation induced highest level of type 2 collagen compared to positive and negative controls and expressed low level of aggrecan or type 1 collagen.
