Abstract excerpt
Regulation of skeletal remodeling appears to influence the differentiation of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) resident in the bone marrow. As murine marrow cultures are contaminated with hematopoietic cells, they are problematic for studying direct effects of mechanical input. Here we use a modified technique to isolate marrow-derived MSC (mdMSC) from adult mice, yielding a population able to...
