METHODS OF IMPLANTING MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS FOR TISSUE REPAIR AND FORMATION

摘要

The invention relates to methods of isolating and implanting mesenchymal ste m cells for tissue repair or formation, without prior culture expansion of the mesenchymal stem cells. In particular, the invention relates to methods of isolating mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow, for repairing or inducing formation of bone, without prior culture expansion of the mesenchymal stem cells. The invention further relates to an isolated, non-culurally expanded human adult mesenchymal stem cell population.
