Mesenchymal stem cell assays and applications

Among the many types of adult, or better, somatic, stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells (marrow-derived stromal cells, MSC) are those more <em>versatile</em> in changing their phenotype during differentiation: from smooth muscle, adipocyte, bone and cartilage cells to name a few. In additi...
