Research output: Contribution to journalShort surveypeer-review

Abstract

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are capable of differentiating into bone-forming osteoblasts. A recent Nature Medicine study (Medici et al., 2010) shows that the mislocalized bone in the human disease fibrodisplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) originates from vascular endothelium that gives rise to MSCs.
