Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as important tools for cell therapy; therefore, identification of factors capable of governing their ex vivo expansion become essential. In this study we demonstrate that human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) express all components of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)/BMP receptor signaling pathway and respond to BMP4 inducing upregulated expression of its specific...
