Mesenchymal stem cells, also known as marrow stromal cells, are defined as a self-renewing population of adherent, bone-marrow-derived multipotent progenitor cells with the capacity to differentiate into several mesenchymal cell lineages. In defined cultures in vitro, mesenchymal stem cells have been shown to readily differentiate into lineage-specific cells that form bone, cartilage, fat, tendon, and muscle tissues. EMD Millipore's Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (Bone Marrow) are isolated from normal human bone marrow and are cryopreserved at P2 to ensure optimal phenotype and the highest viability and plating efficiency. These cells proliferate as an adherent cell monolayer and have shown a strong capacity for expansion in vitro while maintaining their potential for differentiation to multiple lineages including adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes..
