[Mesenchymal stem cells and bone regeneration].
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a cell population present not only in the bone marrow, but also in a number of adult and fetal tissues. Their multilineage differentiation in vitro emphasizes their potential usefulness in the field of the regenerative medicine. New techniques of molecular biology and genetic manipulation of MSC are under investigation for cell therapy of several bone diseases.
