As a result of over five decades of investigation, mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs)
have emerged as a versatile and frequently utilized cell source in the fields of regenerative …

Adult skeletal muscle in mammals is a stable tissue under normal circumstances but has
remarkable ability to repair after injury. Skeletal muscle regeneration is a highly orchestrated …

A widely shared view reads that mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (" MSCs") are ubiquitous in
human connective tissues, can be defined by a common in vitro phenotype, share a …

Research on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and in particular on gelatinase B, alias MMP-
9, has grown exponentially in the decade 2003–2012. Structural details about flexibility of …

As the adult mammalian heart has limited potential for regeneration and repair, the loss of
cardiomyocytes during injury and disease can result in heart failure and death. The cellular …

Two opposing descriptions of so-called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exist at this time.
One sees MSCs as the postnatal, self-renewing, and multipotent stem cells for the skeleton …

Repair of damaged skeletal‐muscle tissue is limited by the regenerative capacity of the
native tissue. Current clinical approaches are not optimal for the treatment of large …
