Curcumin mediated suppression of nuclear factor-κB promotes chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in a high-density co-culture microenvironment

Constanze Buhrmann, Ali Mobasheri, Ulrike Matis, Mehdi Shakibaei Arthritis Research & Therapy 2010, 12:R127 (1 July 2010)

Curcumin, a naturally-occurring nuclear factor-KB inhibitor, protects mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the harmful effects of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thereby establishing a suitable microenvironment for MSCs to undergo chondrogenesis.
