Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Although MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) and fibroblasts have been well studied, differences between these two cell types are not fully understood. We therefore comparatively analysed antigen and gene profiles, colony-forming ability and differentiation potential of four human cell types in vitro: commercially available skin-derived fibroblasts [hSDFs (human skin-derived fibroblasts)],...
