Abstract excerpt
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) have numerous potential advantages over terminally differentiated cells and embryonic stem cells for use in tissue engineering applications. The aims of this study were to develop methods to test the hypothesis that hMSC could be differentiated using cyclic compressive strain alone. hMSC were successfully isolated, purified using D7-FIB antibody, cloned, and characterized. The...
