Abstract excerpt
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have the capacity to differentiate along several pathways to form bone, cartilage, tendon, muscle, and adipose tissues. The adult hMSCs reside in vivo in the bone marrow in niches where oxygen concentration is far below the ambient air, which is the most commonly encountered laboratory condition. The study reported here was designed to determine whether oxygen has a role in...
