Comparative analysis of neuroectodermal differentiation capacity of human bone marrow stromal cells using various conversion protocols

Abstract excerpt

Human adult bone marrow-derived mesodermal stromal cells (hMSCs) are able to differentiate into multiple mesodermal tissues, including bone and cartilage. There is evidence that these cells are able to break germ layer commitment and differentiate into cells expressing neuroectodermal properties. There is still debate about whether this results from cell fusion, aberrant marker gene expression or real...
