p38 MAPK mediated in compressive stress-induced chondrogenesis of rat bone marrow MSCs in 3D alginate scaffolds.

29 Nov 2009 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are well known to have the capability to form bone and cartilage, and chondrogenesis derived from MSCs is reported to be affected by mechanical stimuli. This research was aimed to study the effects of cyclic compressive ... Read more...

Phenotype and chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal cells from adipose tissue of different species.

30 Oct 2009 Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells capable of differentiating into several mesoderm lineages. They have been isolated from different tissues, such as bone marrow, adult peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood, and adipose tissue. The ... Read more...

Effect of ibuprofen on osteoblast differentiation of porcine bone marrow-derived progenitor cells.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and pain. However, little is known about the direct effect of these drugs on the differentiation of bone marrow-derived progenitor cells into osteoblasts. ... Read more...
