SDSCs, UC-MSCs, and BM-MSCs with high GSH levels show enhanced chondrogenesis. A Morphology of SDSC, UC-MSC and ADSC pellets with different GSH levels (B) (above) Weight and (below) size of the pellets after 21 days of chondrogenic differentiation (n = 5 per group, respectively). C mRNA levels for chondrogenic (COL2A1, SOX9 and ACAN) and hypertrophic chondrocyte (COLXA1) markers (n = 5 per group). D Safranin-O staining of cell pellets after chondrogenic differentiation induced in SDSCs, UC-MSCs, and ADSCs. E Quantification of the results in (D) according to the positive area of Safranin-O staining (n = 5 each). ****p < 0.0001
