Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent/pluripotent stromal cells that can differentiate into a diversity of cell categories depending upon the micro-environment to that they are exposed. The multipotent differentiation potential of MSCs is generally towards a constrained sum of cell types familiar to the tissue of origin and maintains the capacity for self-renewal. To assess the differentiation potential of MSCs to skeletal myocytes a male mongrel dog of 3 years was used to carry out the research. |
