Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent cells able to differentiate into different mesenchymal lineages. Studies in the past had suggested that two of these mesenchymal differentiation directions, the chondrogenic and the myogenic differentiation, are negatively regulated by the transcription factor NF-kappaB. Although osteogenic differentiation has been extensively studied, the influence of NF-kappaB on this...
