Differentiation of human fetal mesenchymal stem cells into cells with an oligodendrocyte phenotype
1 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
The potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to differentiate into neural lineages has raised the possibility of autologous cell transplantation as a therapy for neurodegenerative diseases. We have identified a population of circulating human fetal mesenchymal stem cells (hfMSC) that are highly proliferative and can readily differentiate into mesodermal lineages such as bone, cartilage, fat and muscle. Here, we...
