Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitors derived from tissue stroma that differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts when expandedin vitro. Although the properties of the in vitro-expanded progeny are well defined, the in vivobiology of MSCs is only just beginning to be elucidated.
