1. A method of differentiating pluripotent cells to a population of chondrogenic precursors, comprising:

  • a) passaging a population of mechanically-dissected pluripotent cell aggregates (PCA) directly on untreated tissue culture-grade plastic until confluency, at least three times to generate mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-like cells; and

    b) culturing the MSC-like cells in a three-dimensional culture, to generate the population of chondrogenic precursors;

    wherein the MSC-like cells are positive for CD90, CD73, and CD105.
