Concise review: mesenchymal stem cells: their phenotype, differentiation capacity, immunological features, and potential for homing.

Abstract excerpt

MSCs are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into, and contribute to the regeneration of, mesenchymal tissues such as bone, cartilage, muscle, ligament, tendon, and adipose. MSCs are rare in bone marrow, representing approximately 1 in 10,000 nucleated cells.
