Abstract excerpt
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) can form various mesodermal tissues when grown under appropriate conditions. Dexamethasone (Dex) is regularly used to stimulate the osteogenic potential of hMSCs and it has recently been reported to increase the cell expansion rate. In this study we have investigated the effect of low-dose Dex treatment (10(-8) M) on the multipotency of expanded hMSCs, using histological,...
