[HTML][HTML] Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells obtained from diverse human tissues share functional properties and gene-expression profile with CD146+ …
OBJECTIVE: The relationship of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) with
pericytes and fibroblasts has not been established thus far, although they share many
markers of primitive marrow stromal cells and the osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic
differentiation potentials. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We compared MSCs from adult or
fetal tissues, MSC differentiated in vitro, fibroblasts and cultures of retinal pericytes obtained
either by separation with anti-CD146 or adhesion. The characterizations included …
