Abstract excerpt
Recent reports indicated that human isolated CD271+ bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) have a greater expansion and potential for multipotent differentiation including chondrogenesis than classical plastic adherent (PA) BM-MSCs in vitro. Therefore, we set up a hypothesis that CD271+ MSCs may have a greater chondrogenic potential than PA-MSCs in vitro and in vivo. We investigated the superiority of...
