Human development provides a roadmap for advancing pluripotent stem cell-based regenerative therapies. Here the authors mapped human skeletogenesis using RNA sequencing on 5 cell types from a single foetal stage as well as chondrocytes at 4 stages in vivo and 2 stages during in vitro differentiation.
