Adult mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) are lysate of MPCs according to their differentiation commitment. adherent stromal cells of non-haematopoietic origin derived Identification of differentially expressed genes and proteins from bone marrow and other tissues. Upon limited in vitro along the osteo-chondrogenic lineage provides a foundation expansion, they retain their self-renewal capacity as well as for a more reproducible and reliable quality and differentiation their potential to differentiate into tissues of mesenchymal control of rat bone marrow-derived MPCs used for osteo- lineage, such as bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon and connective chondrogenic differentiation studies. tissues. Amongst these tissues, cartilage is the only one with insufficient self-renewal capacity, thus MPCs would qualify as Introduction an excellent tool for therapeutic regeneration of focal cartilage lesions. However, optimal in vitro manipulation of MPCs is Adult mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) also known as a prerequisite; identification and a better understanding of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are precursors of the tissues molecular mechanisms regulating their differentiation of mesenchymal lineage.
