The Role of Pericytes in the Articular Environment—a Review

Editorial: Chondrogenic potentials, protocols and mechanisms of mesenchymal progenitor cells

“…Although MSCs produce fibrocartilage, not hyaline cartilage, several studies show successful regeneration of articular tissue using MSCs. Our recent reviews compile the role of pericytes in cartilage repair and regeneration ( James et al, 2017 ; Negri et al, 2022 ). Identification of surface markers helps to predict the chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs and perform their isolation from the heterogenous pool.…”
