Abstract excerpt
hMSCs derived from bone marrow are useful as a species-specific cell culture system for studying cell lineage differentiation and tissue remodeling. However, hMSCs usually have a short in vitro life span due to replicative senescence. We therefore used a high dose of retroviral vector LXSN-16E6E7 to transduce hMSCs of an aging donor and obtained an actively proliferating cell line, designated KP-hMSCs, which...
