Skin-Derived Precursors Differentiate Into Skeletogenic Cell Types and Contribute to Bone Repair
3 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
Skin-derived precursors (SKPs) are multipotent dermal precursors that share similarities with neural crest stem cells and that can give rise to peripheral neural and some mesodermal cell types, such as adipocytes. Here, we have asked whether rodent or human SKPs can generate other mesenchymally derived cell types, with a particular focus on osteocytes and chondrocytes. In culture, rodent and human...
