Global amplification polymerase chain reaction reveals novel transitional stages during osteoprogenitor differentiation

Abstract excerpt

Mesenchymal stem cells give rise to osteoprogenitors that proliferate and differentiate into identifiable preosteoblasts, osteoblasts, bone lining cells and osteocytes. To identify and establish a molecular profile for the more primitive and uncharacterized cells in the lineage, relatively rare (<1%) osteoprogenitors present in primary cultures of fetal rat calvaria cell populations were identified by a replica...
