Biochemical Society Transactions, 2000•portlandpress.comA subset of stem-like cells from bone marrow that are referred to as marrow stromal cells
(MSCs) have been shown to be capable of differentiating into osteoblasts, chondrocytes,
adipocytes, myocytes, astrocytes and perhaps neurons. Recently, conditions have been
developed where human MSCs can be expanded almost without limit in culture without
apparently losing their multi-potentiality for differentiation. The cells appear to be potentially
useful for the repair of extracellular matrix and the central nervous system.
