Plasticity and regulation of human bone marrow stromal osteoprogenitor cells: potential implication in the treatment of age-related bone loss.
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Human bone marrow stroma contains pluripotent mesenchymal progenitor cells that can give rise to many mesenchymal lineages, including chondroblasts, adipocytes or osteoblasts. The differentiation of these cells towards a specific lineage is dependent on hormonal and local factors activating specific transcription factors. Attempts have been recently made to identify osteoprogenitor cells in the human bone marrow...
