Chondroinduction of mesenchymal stem cells is a promising and advancing area in tissue engineering. In this study, the effects of centrifugal pressure on murine fibroblasts were studied. It has already been demonstrated that centrifugal pressure stimulates chondrogenesis in fully mature chondrocytes. The objective of the study was to determine whether chondrogenesis can be induced using this type of pressure on murine fibroblasts cultured in 3D pellets.
