Does the Harvesting Site Influence the Osteogenic Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cells? by Van Thi Nguyen, Irene Tessaro, Antonio Marmotti, Camilla Sirtori, Giuseppe M. Peretti, Laura Mangiavini

“…In chondrogenic and adipogenic conditions, bone marrow cells possessed a predominant differential capacity compared with the others, illustrated by high collagen type II expression together with a cartilage-like lacuna structure and the presence of fat-specific markers, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first study comparing and demonstrating that the progenitor cells obtained from diverse surgical sites in hip replacement procedure share common characteristics of MSC but differ about plasticity and may provide rational for clinical application in cell therapy and bone grafting. …”
