It is well-established that in vitro differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can recapitulate embryonic development through germ layer induction, enrichment and expansion of specific lineages. We have used PSC technology and developed a novel, mESC differentiation system for investigating the mechanisms of chondrocyte and osteoblast lineage commitment and differentiation. This step-wise, serum-free protocol uses specif...
