Comparison and characterization of enriched mesenchymal stem cells obtained by the repeated filtration of autologous bone marrow through porous biomaterials

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2019
Background When bone marrow is repeatedly filtered through porous material, the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the bone marrow can adhere to the outer and inner walls of the carrier material to become enriched locally, and this is a promising method ...

Embryo Implantation

Developmental Biology, 2000
A lesson learned from modern developmental biology is the striking degree of conservation of strategies and molecules used to program developmental events in species as diverse as insects, birds, amphibians, and mammals. Nonetheless, mammals retain distinctions with regard to the strategies used to protect and nourish their offspring during development,
