Different Facets of Aging in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells
2 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have to be culture expanded to gain relevant cell numbers for therapeutic applications. However, within 2-3 months the proliferation rate of MSCs decays until they ultimately reach a senescent state. This is accompanied by enlarged morphology, reduced expression of surface markers, and decreased differentiation potential. So far it is only scarcely understood how long-term culture...
