Abstract
We conclude that TGF-β1 is beneficial to chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs via canonical Smad pathway to promote early-repairing of cartilage defect. Furthermore, TGF-β1 inhibits chondrocyte hypertrophy by decreasing hypertrophy marker gene expression via Hippo signaling. Long-term rational use of TGF-β1 may be an alternative approach in clinic for cartilage repair and regeneration.
