... as intercellular signals that allow cell–cell communication. Here, the role of the transfer of the microRNA miR-200b between vasculogenic and osteogenic cells was explored in a co-culture system. Rat bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) formed functional gap junctions composed of connexin 43 (Cx43...

... that modulate adhesion, cytoskeleton remodeling and differentiation. Although it is well recognized that stimuli for osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) drive FA maturation, actin organization and stress fiber polarization, the extent to which FA-mediated signals regulated by the FA protein...

...Jessica E. Frith; Richard J. Mills; Justin J. Cooper-White Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted great interest in recent years for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications due to their ease of isolation and multipotent differentiation capacity. In the past, MSC research has...

... examined whether oscillatory fluid flow, an exogenous mechanical signal within bone, regulates osteogenic, adipogenic or chondrogenic differentiation of C3H10T1/2 murine mesenchymal stem cells by measuring Runx2, PPARγ and SOX9 gene expression, respectively. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the small...

...Lindolfo da Silva Meirelles; Pedro Cesar Chagastelles; Nance Beyer Nardi Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells which can give rise to mesenchymal and non-mesenchymal tissues in vitro and in vivo. Whereas in vitro properties such as (trans)differentiation capabilities are well known...
