Fat-derived adult mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into different phenotypes
reflecting their potential to regenerate various skeletal tissues. These properties together …

Fat-derived stromal cells can differentiate into various skeletal tissues. Currently the
mechanism that determines whether stromal cells differentiate into osteoblasts is unclear …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multifunctional cytokines, which induce bone and
cartilage formation and exert various other effects on many tissues. Since angiogenesis is …

Growth and differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5) is a divergent member of the transforming growth
factor-β/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) superfamily that is required for proper skeletal …

Background: Interest in the potential application of adipose-derived stromal cells in cell-
mediated tissue engineering of bone and other mesenchymal-derived tissues is growing …

In this study, we investigated the influence of transforming growth factor beta 3 (TGF‐β3),
bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP‐6) and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF‐2) on …

The objective of our study was to elucidate the potential of bone morphogenetic protein-7
(BMP7) to initiate distinct mesenchymal lineage development of human adult mesenchymal …

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) initiate, promote, and maintain chondrogenesis and
osteogenesis. We hypothesize that BMP-2 induces an osteogenic, and BMP-7 a …

Adipose-derived mesenchymal cells (AMCs) have demonstrated a great capacity for
differentiating into bone, cartilage, and fat. Studies using bone marrow-derived …

The regenerative potential for adult bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells
(MSCs) has been extensively investigated in the setting of arthritic disease and focal …
