Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an attractive cell source for tissue engineering applications due to their multipotentiality and increased expansion potential compared to mature cells. However, the full potential of MSCs for cellular therapies is not realised, due, in part, to premature proliferative senescence and impaired differentiation capacity following expansion under 20% oxygen. Bone marrow MSCs reside...
