The osteogenic factors bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-7), platelet-derived growth factor
(PDGF)-BB, and fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) regulate the recruitment of osteoprogenitor …

Objective Roles of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP s) on osteogenesis of human
adipose‐derived stem cells (hASC s) remain ambiguous. In this study, we evaluated in vitro …

The secretome of stem cells strongly determines the outcome of tissue engineering
strategies. We investigated how the secretome of human adipose stem cells (hASCs) can be …

Adipose‐derived stem cells (ASCs) are multipotent progenitors that can be chondrogenically
induced by growth factors such as bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP‐6). We …

Dedifferentiated fat (DFAT) cells, which are isolated from mature adipocytes using the ceiling
culture method, exhibit similar characteristics to mesenchymal stem cells, and possess …

In this study, the authors examined combinations of growth factors that induce effective
chondrogenesis from adipose tissue–derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Human …

Tissue engineering using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) holds great promise for
regenerating critically sized bone defects. While the bone marrow-derived MSC is the most …

Here we determine the Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF2) dependency of the time course of
changes in bone mass in female mice. This study extends our earlier reports that knockout of …

Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to undergo commitment and differentiation into a
variety of cell types, including osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes and adipocytes. Growth …

A subclass of the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), known as growth/differentiation
factors (GDFs) 5, 6, and 7, have been shown to affect several skeletal processes, including …
