Our study demonstrated that iPS cells have the potency to differentiate into chondrogenic cells, as shown by the appearance of Alcian blue-stained colonies and expression of a cartilage-associated gene of collagen type II in vitro. Implanted iPS cells were confirmed to exist in the 3D scaffold in vivo. Cartilage-like tissue was regenerated in tracheal defect using iPS cells. Our results suggest the potential of iPS cells for the regeneration of the tracheal wall.
