Isolation of Bone Marrow Stromal Cell–Derived Smooth Muscle Cells by a Human SM22α Promoter
28 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) have many characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells that can differentiate into smooth muscle cells (SMCs). However, there have been few studies closely following the cell development of smooth muscle lineage among BMSCs. METHODS AND RESULTS: To investigate the possible existence of a cell population committed to the SMC lineage among bone marrow adhesion cells, we...
