title: Characterization of multipotent adult progenitor cells, a subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells.
abstract: Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and a subpopulation of cells--multipotent adult progenitor cells--were identified that have the potential for multilineage differentiation. Their ability to engraft and differentiate in vivo is under investigation.
