SSEA-4 identifies mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow
24 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Adult bone marrow (BM) contains hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) as well as a nonhematopoietic, stromal cell population. Within this stromal population are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which not only support hematopoiesis but also differentiate into multiple lineages, including fat, bone, and cartilage.
