A New Concept Underlying Stem Cell Lineage Skewing That Explains the Detrimental Effects of Thiazolidinediones on Bone
8 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Bone-marrow adipogenesis is an aging-related phenomenon and is correlated with osteoporosis. The latter is a prevalent bone disease in the elderly leading to increased fracture risk and mortality. It is widely hypothesized that the underlying molecular mechanism includes a shift in the commitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the osteogenic lineage to the adipogenic lineage. Lineage skewing is at least...
