Fibroblasts and Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells Are Phenotypically Indistinguishable
1 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs), derived from many different tissues, are characterized by a fibroblast-like morphology, the expression of certain cell surface markers and their ability to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts. A number of studies have shown that MSCs share many characteristics with fibroblasts; however, there is no well-defined set of phenotypic...
