| Abstract | The osteochondral microenvironment involves a complex milieu of cues that facilitate proper tissue development, homeostasis, and repair. This environment is disrupted in disease states such as osteoarthritis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are under clinical investigation for the treatment of osteoarthritis given their capacity to differentiate into chondrocytes as well as to secrete a wide array of biologically active factors that support cell proliferation and tissue formation. In fact, the therapeutic action of these cells in many clinical applications is now thought to be at least partially dependent on their secretory capacity. Previous work demonstrated that MSCs were capable of stimulating chondrocyte growth and tissue production, whereas tissue-derived osteoblasts were not stimulatory. This study investigated the stimulatory capacity of MSCs during osteogenesis and the impact of MSC phenotype on cartilage stimulation. Cell interactions were examined in 3 coculture systems to confirm that trends were not dependent on material: traditional cell culture insert coculture, bilayered poly(ethylene glycol) gels, and a scaffold comprised of a layer of poly(ethylene glycol) polymerized onto a poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid-based scaffold. Results demonstrated that MSCs predifferentiated toward an osteogenic phenotype for 3 days exhibited enhanced stimulation of chondrocyte extracellular matrix production, whereas longer periods of predifferentiation decreased the magnitude of observed stimulation. Further, tissue formation by the MSCs themselves showed greater dependence on the coculture system than the presence of other cells or length of predifferentiation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
