[chondrogenic progenitor cell]
also: chondroprogenitor cells; abbr. CPCs. This cell type with characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells has been identified in repair tissue from human articular cartilage during the late stages of osteoarthritis (Koelling et al, 2009). The cells express markers related to stem cells, such as CD13, CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, and CD105. More than 15 % of the isolated cells are positive for STRO-1 [stromal precursor antigen 1]. Chondrogenic progenitor cells are negative for the markers CD34,
