TWIST Family of Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors Mediate Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth and Commitment
16 Jul 2009
Abstract excerpt
The TWIST family of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, Twist-1 and Dermo-1 are known mediators of mesodermal tissue development and contribute to correct patterning of the skeleton. In this study, we demonstrate that freshly purified human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSC) express high levels of Twist-1 and Dermo-1 which are downregulated following ex vivo expansion. Enforced...
