Autocrine fibroblast growth factor 18 mediates dexamethasone‐induced osteogenic differentiation of murine mesenchymal stem cells
12 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
The potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to differentiate into functional bone forming cells provides an important tool for bone regeneration. The identification of factors capable of promoting osteoblast differentiation in MSCs is therefore critical to enhance the osteogenic potential of MSCs. Using microarray analysis combined with biochemical and molecular approach, we found that FGF18, a member of the...
