Human Fetal and Adult Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Use Different Signaling Pathways for the Initiation of Chondrogenesis
30 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Cartilage injuries and osteoarthritis are leading causes of disability in developed countries. The regeneration of damaged articular cartilage using cell transplantation or tissue engineering holds much promise but requires the identification of an appropriate cell source with a high proliferative propensity and consistent chondrogenic capacity. Human fetal mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been isolated from a...
