They showed that Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) can engraft and selectively differentiate, based on the tissue environment, to such lineages as muscle, bone, cartilage, marrow stroma, tendon and fat. Due to their cellular origin and phenotype, these cells do not provoke an immune response, allowing for the development of products derived from unrelated human donors. Read More
