GlossaryMesenchymal Stem Cells

cells that can become bone, cartilage, or fat cells

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are a type of multipotent stem cell found in various tissues, including bone marrow, fat, and umbilical cord tissue. They have the ability to differentiate into a variety of cell types, such as bone, cartilage, and fat cells, making them valuable for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
