[Recent progress of BMSCs acting as seeding cell for tissue engineered cartilage].
OBJECTIVE
To review the recent progress of BMSCs acting as seeding cell for tissue engineered cartilage.


METHODS
The recent ten years literature about BMSCs acting as seeding cell for tissue engineered cartilage was extensively reviewed.


RESULTS
Scaffold provided an optimal environment for the growth of BMSCs. Cytokine and gene delivery could promote BMSCs to differentiate toward chondrocytes. All of them played important roles in the field of cartilage tissue engineering.


CONCLUSIONS
The improvement of three-dimensional scaffolds, the rational use of cytokine, and the enhancement of gene delivery will promote the development of clinical cartilage reconstruction.
