A functional motor unit in the culture dish : co-culture of spinal cord explants and muscle cells [PDF]
Human primary muscle cells cultured aneurally in monolayer rarely contract spontaneously because, in the absence of a nerve component, cell differentiation is limited and motor neuron stimulation is missing(1). These limitations hamper the in vitro study

Transient Local Bone Remodeling Effects of rhBMP-2 in an Ovine Interbody Spine Fusion Model [PDF]
Background: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is a powerful osteoinductive morphogen capable of stimulating the migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to the site of implantation and inducing the proliferation and ...
