Application of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) for tissue regeneration is hindered by off-target cell differentiation. Here, the authors use bulk and single cell RNA-sequencing to identify WNT and MITF as off-target hubs during chondrogenic differentiation; inhibiting these pathways enhanced homogeneity and yield.
