Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Rehabilitation Medicine, Fundamental Research and Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Abstract excerpt

A speculative suggestion for a curative approach to osteogenesis imperfecta is based on the experimental observation that a pluripotent stem cell for mesenchymatous tissues can be isolated from marrow or periosteum. This cell, referred to as a Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) could provide a vehicle for gene therapy based on that fact that many mesenchymal tissues have reasonably high cellular turnover rates. If...
