Populations of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs, also known as bone marrow-derived "mesenchymal stem cells") contain a subset of cells that are able to recapitulate the formation of a bone/marrow organ (skeletal stem cells, SSCs). The biological properties of BMSC cultures are assessed by a variety of assays, both in vitro and in vivo. Application of these assays in an appropriate fashion provides a great deal of information on the role of BMSCs, and the subset of SSCs, in health and in disease.
骨髓基质细胞群体(BMSCs,也称为骨髓来源的“间充质干细胞”)包含能够重现骨/骨髓器官形成的细胞亚群(骨骼干细胞,SSCs)。通过多种体外和体内试验评估BMSC培养物的生物学特性。以适当方式应用这些试验可提供大量有关BMSCs以及SSCs亚群在健康和疾病中的作用的信息。
