From Stem Cells to Bone: Phenotype Acquisition, Stabilization, and Tissue Engineering in Animal Models

Abstract excerpt

The regeneration of bone tissue depends on the concerted actions of a plethora of signals that recruit mesenchymal stem cells for lineage-specific differentiation, with cellular phenotypes serving various functions throughout their life span. The signals are conveyed in hormones, growth factors, and mechanical forces, all of which ensure proper modeling and remodeling. Both processes are secured by indigenous and...
