Description 

STRI became the world’s first commercial provider of human chondrocyte cell differentiated from human pluripotent stem cell (nEPS) without side effect and services. 

This chondrocyte is derived from Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) isolated from umbilical cords of healthy donor 

nEPS(newly Elicited Pluripotent Stem cell without side effects by natural products) is produced from MSC to reprogram pluripotency gene expression (OCT4, SOX2, Nanog, ETC) by treating STC-F002. 

In addition, nEPS is not occurred tumor to be remarkably low expression of C-Myc gene related oncogene. Induction of nEPS do not have artificial manipulate anything and use only STC-F002 treatment, small molecules extract from natural products. 

Our chondrocyte cell line will have enormous contribution to understanding the mechanism of human chondrocyte development and support a treatment source of various degenerative articular diseases.
