Definition
- Mesenchymal stem cells, also referred to as multipotent stromal cells or mesenchymal stromal cells are multipotent, non-hematopoietic adult stem cells that are present in multiple tissues, including BONE MARROW; ADIPOSE TISSUE; and WHARTON JELLY. Mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into mesodermal lineages, such as adipocytic, osteocytic and chondrocytic. Mesenchymal stromal cells found in BONE MARROW. A subpopulation of mesenchymal stromal cells from BONE MARROW that are multipotent stem cells. Non-hematopoietic cells that support HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS in bone marrow. They have also been isolated from other organs and tissues such as adipose tissue, UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD, and WHARTON JELLY and include a subpopulation of multipotent stem cells. Mesenchymal stromal cells found in WHARTON JELLY, in the perivascular, intervascular, and subamnion regions of the UMBILICAL CORD. They are fibroblastic in appearance, rich in hyaluronic acid, and have been induced to form bone, CARTILAGE, and adipose cells in vitro.
