Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) are rare bone marrow-derived cells that have the potential to develop (differentiate) into a variety of skeletal cells including the cells that make bone, cartilage, fat, and connective tissue (or stroma). We have previously reported on the development of methods to isolate hMSCs from human bone marrow. We have also developed methods to induce hMSCs to divide many times in culture without differentiating into any of the various skeletal or connective tissue cells for which they have potential. Finally, we and others have developed methods to induce hMSCs to form bone, cartilage, fat or stroma right on the culture plate.
