Osteoblast differentiation is functionally associated with decreased AMP kinase activity.

29 Nov 2009 Osteoblasts, originating from mesenchymal stem cells, play a pivotal role in bone formation and mineralization. Several transcription factors including runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) have been reported to be essential for osteoblast ... Read more...

Feeder-free derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells from adult human adipose stem cells.

6 Sep 2009 Ectopic expression of transcription factors can reprogram somatic cells to a pluripotent state. However, most of the studies used skin fibroblasts as the starting population for reprogramming, which usually take weeks for expansion from a single ... Read more...

Expansion and characterization of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells cultured on fragmin/protamine microparticle-coated matrix with fibroblast growth factor-2 in low serum medium.

30 Aug 2009 Fragmin/protamine microparticles (F/P MPs) can be stably coated onto plastic surfaces. A capability of F/P MP-coated plates was investigated to immobilize fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 as a substratum to expand human bone marrow-derived ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Adipocytes'

Definition: Cells in the body that store FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. WHITE ADIPOCYTES are the predominant type and found mostly in the abdominal cavity and subcutaneous tissue. BROWN ADIPOCYTES are thermogenic cells that can be found in newborns of some species and hibernating mammals.
