The terms MSC and MSCs have become the preferred acronym to describe a cell and a cell
population of multipotential stem/progenitor cells commonly referred to as mesenchymal …

Importance of the field: In the last decade, knowledge of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
has evolved rapidly; their immunomodulatory properties and paracrine interactions with …

Rapid advances in the isolation of multipotent progenitor cells, routinely called
mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs), from various human tissues and organs have …

There is currently much interest in adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their ability to
differentiate into other cell types, and to partake in the anatomy and physiology of remote …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells. In addition to the capacity for
self-renewal and multipotential differentiation, MSCs also have the following characteristics …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the focus of intensive efforts worldwide directed not

About 40 years ago Friedenstein described stromal cells in the bone marrow that were
spindle shaped and proliferate to form colonies. These cells attach to plastic and are able to …

Research into mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) has been particularly exciting in the
past five years. Our understanding of mechanisms of MSC-mediated tissue regeneration has …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells able to give rise to mature
mesenchymal cell types. Plastic-adherent cells are operationally defined as MSCs based on …

Several investigators have cultivated marrow stromal cells and have identified a population
