Coculture of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Nucleus Pulposus Cells Modulate Gene Expression Profile Without Cell Fusion
1 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: Changes in gene expression profile and cell fusion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and nucleus pulposus cells (NPC) after coculture were analyzed. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanisms of the interaction between NPC and MSC such us differentiation, stimulatory effect, and cell fusion. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Introduction of exogenous cells to supplement and replenish intervertebral disc cell...
