摘要: Human bone marrow derived-mesenchymal (skeletal) stem (MSC) cells are a group of non-hematopoietic residing in the perivascular niches marrow. These have capacity to differentiate mainly into mesoderm-type such as osteoblasts, chondrocytes and adipocytes possibly but not proven non-mesodermal cell types. Recently, there has been an increased interest understanding biology MSC due their potential use cell-based therapy for multiple degenerative diseases. Here, we will provide update on current status these novel therapeutic opportunities. J. Cell. Physiol. 218: 9-12, 2009. (c) 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
