Kosheeka : Primary Cells for Research

According to The European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences (2016), cells derived from the mesoderm with the ability to undergo self-renewal are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These cells were first described by a team led by Friedenstein as spindle-shaped cells that adhered to the culture vessel from the bone marrow. MSCs can differentiate into several cell types such as chondrocytes (cartilage cells), osteocytes (bone cells), adipocytes (fat cells) and myocytes (muscle). 2016-published research in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research by scientists Viganò and team explained that these cells maintain the optimum number of cells in tissues to maintain tissue homeostasis by differentiating into appropriate cells. They also release many growth factors and molecules that regulate the immune system. A team led by Sriramulu (2018) described added features of these cells in the International Journal of hematology-oncology and stem cell rese...
