Mesenchymal Stem Cells
|
The study of stem cells offers a new way to better understand the fundamental events and mechanisms regulating human health, development, and disease.
|
MSCs have been reported to differentiate into a variety of cell types such as osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, adipocytes, and, pancreatic beta-islets cells and neuronal cells. MSCs are multipotent stem cells, found in the bone marrow. They have also been isolated from adipose tissue, umbilical cord, synovium, amniotic fluid, and dental pulp.

The ultimate goal of stem cell research is to develop cell-based therapies to treat conditions currently untreatable by conventional therapies. To achieve this, protocols are needed to expand, characterize, and isolate sufficient quantities of purified cell populations of a defined lineage.
|
Flow cytometry, combined with the development of new antibodies, can improve cell population purity and provide faster multiparametric analysis to help accelerate the pace of discovery.
Researchers suggest mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are thought to have promising potential in therapeutics.
