I'll add more on the things mentioned below later but right now Cquan has repeatedly deleted information added to this page - our lab www.case.edu/med/dotel is looking at targeting mesenchymal stem cells, is this promotional or informational? Also our lab generally uses percoll before plating cells Tom Kean 23:48, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


Ideas for things to be added:

  • Markers of MSCs (Sca1+Lin-; Stro-1; etc).
  • Notes on uses of MSCs cell-based therapy
  • Normal role of MSCs in vivo
  • Historical background to MSCs (identification, culturing etc.)

  • Heterologous - Homologous - Homogenous ?
Homogenous/heterogenous for cells (homologous for DNA) - I fixed the text too. Dr Aaron 06:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
