In Osteoporosis, differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improves bone marrow adipogenesis
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
The formation, maintenance, and repair of bone tissue involve close interlinks between two stem cell types housed in the bone marrow: the hematologic stem cell originating osteoclasts and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) generating osteoblasts.
