Dental mesenchymal stem cells encapsulated in an alginate hydrogel co-delivery microencapsulation system for cartilage regeneration.

TLDR
A novel co-delivery system based on TGF-β1 loaded RGD-coupled alginate microspheres encapsulating periodontal ligament stem cells or gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) and PDLSCs is developed, suggesting thatRGD-modified alginates encapsulating dental MSCs make a promising candidate for cartilage regeneration.
