Chondrogenic potential of bone marrow- and adipose tissue-derived adult human mesenchymal stem cells
1 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
Regarding cartilage repair, tissue engineering is currently focusing on the use of adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) as an alternative to autologous chondrocytes. The potential of stem cells from various tissues to differentiate towards the chondrogenic phenotype has been investigated and it appears that the most common and studied sources are bone marrow (BM) and adipose tissue (AT) for historical and easy...
