Effects of Ectopic Nanog and Oct4 Overexpression on Mesenchymal Stem Cells
22 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a source of pluripotent cells that are already in various phases of clinical application. However, the use of MSCs in tissue engineering has been hampered largely due to their limitations, including low proliferation, finite life span, and gradual loss of their stem cell properties during ex vivo expansion. Nanog and Oct4 are key transcription factors essential to the...
