Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Spontaneously Make Cartilage After Blockage of VEGF Signaling
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be induced to make cartilage by incubating the cells with particular growth factors. Unfortunately, batches of MSCs show respectable variability from patient-to-patient. Therefore the growth factor-dependent method suffers from poor efficacy, limited reproducibility from batch-to-batch, and the cell types that are induced are not always terribly stable. Finding a better...
