Mesenchymal progenitor cells provide a source of cells for the repair of musculoskeletal
tissue. However, in vitro models are needed to study the mechanisms of differentiation of …

A culture system that facilitates the chondrogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow-derived
mesenchymal progenitor cells has been developed. Cells obtained in bone marrow …

Periosteum contains osteochondral progenitor cells that can differentiate into osteoblasts and
chondrocytes during normal bone growth and fracture healing. TGF‐β1 and BMP‐2 have …

Adult articular cartilage exhibits little capacity for intrinsic repair, and thus even minor injuries
or lesions may lead to progressive damage and osteoarthritic joint degeneration, resulting …

Background— The delivery of autologous cells to increase angiogenesis is emerging as a
treatment option for patients with cardiovascular disease but may be limited by the …

It has been shown that stromal–vascular fraction isolated from adipose tissues contains an
abundance of CD34 + cells. Histological analysis of adipose tissue revealed that CD34 + …

Background— Several clinical studies are evaluating the therapeutic potential of delivery of
various progenitor cells for treatment of injured hearts. However, the actual fate of delivered …

Adult marrow contains mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) that have multiple differentiation
potentials. A conditionally immortalized MPC clone, BMC9, has been identified that …

Much attention has been given to the influences of bioactive factors on mesenchymal
progenitor cell differentiation and proliferation, but few studies have examined the effect of …

Rapid induction and maintenance of blood flow through new vascular networks is essential
for successfully treating ischemic tissues and maintaining function of engineered neo-organs…
