Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is one of the key chondrogenic growth factors involved in cartilage regeneration. However, it also exhibits osteogenic abilities and triggers endochondral ossification. Effective chondrogenesis inhibition BMP2-induced osteogenesis ossification can be achieved by directing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) towards chondrocyte lineage with chodrogenic factors, such as Sox9. Here we investigated effects Sox9 on differentiation MSCs. We found exogenous...
