Figure 1From: Mesenchymal chondroprogenitor cell origin and therapeutic potentialPotential sources for isolation of chondroprogenitors. Progenitor cells with chondrogenic potential have been isolated from bone marrow, synovium, perichondrium and cartilage itself. The relative ability of these cells to contribute to normal cartilage homeostasis or repair of diseased tissue may be related to their niche or developmental origin.Back to article page
