Marrow Stromal Cells as Stem Cells for Nonhematopoietic Tissues
4 Apr 1997
Abstract excerpt
Marrow stromal cells can be isolated from other cells in marrow by their tendency to adhere to tissue culture plastic. The cells have many of the characteristics of stem cells for tissues that can roughly be defined as mesenchymal, because they can be differentiated in culture into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, and even myoblasts.
