The immortalization of chondrocytes or osteoprogenitor cells to treat osteoarthritis or for bone grafts, and endothelial cells for the generation of tissue-engineered blood vessels are other areas ...

The team then tried increasing the number of osteoprogenitor cells in older mice using Wnt3a bandage—a specialized biomedical device that delivers the Wnt3a protein, which is crucial in ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are the prototypical osteoprogenitor cells and are therefore the optimal candidates for growing bone, but these stem cells do not naturally home to bone. To discover ...
