Protein concentrations for iCCM for every passage at different collection time points. There are no significant differences in the passage 3 protein concentration between 48 h (unfilled bars) (1023.22 ± 55.85 μg/ml) and 72 h (gray bars) (1108.64 ± 7.82 μg/ml). *significant differences with P1 (48 h), ▴ significant differences with P1 (72 h), ♦ significant differences with P2 (48 h), and #significant differences with P2 (72 h).

Immunofluorescence images of BMSCs, Chondrocytes, and iCIM and iCCM on days 7, 14, and 21. Cells were stained for (A) collagen 1 (green) and (B) collagen 2 (red). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Yellow bar represents 100 μm.
