Circulating Connective Tissue Precursors: Extreme Rarity in Humans and Chondrogenic Potential in Guinea Pigs
27 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
Using a variety of cell separation techniques and cultivation conditions, circulating, adherent, connective tissue, clonogenic cells were found in just 3 donors out of 66, demonstrating that these precursors are extremely rare in postnatal human blood. Contrary to humans, guinea pig blood shows much more reproducible connective tissue colony formation; it was therefore chosen to study the differentiation...
