Bone-marrow-derived multipotent progenitor stromal cells — or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) — are the common predecessors of cells of the mesenchymal lineage, such as bone, cartilage and fat ...

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in multiple tissues, including umbilical cord, bone marrow and fat tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew by ...

In partnership with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, we committed nearly $4 million over five years to co-fund a major study of mesenchymal (adult) stromal cells as a new ...

reside in bone marrow and continuously produce a variety of blood and immune system cells. Mesenchymal stem cells are the source of new bone, cartilage, and connective tissue cells. Neuronal stem ...

Techniques that cause multipotent adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into cells of the chondrogenic lineage have led to a variety of experimental strategies to investigate ...

For example, researchers use a combination of cytokines, including hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), oncostatin M (OSM), epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2), and leukemia ...

Cells were analysed by flow cytometry using antibodies to mesenchymal stem cell markers CD90, CD73 and CD105, as well as qRT-PCR for stem cell and tenogenic markers. ECM components of the fibroblast ...
