Stanford team identifies human skeletal stem cells

September 21, 2018 10:27 PM UTC

The discovery of self-renewing human skeletal stem cells by Stanford University researchers takes the field one step closer to the development of regenerative therapies for skeletal disorders.

In a paper published on Thursday in Cell, the Stanford researchers showed the existence of human skeletal stem cells for the first time. Previous findings by the same group had showed mice have similar skeletal stem cells, and that bone injury in diabetic mice could be improved by increasing skeletal stem cell expansion (see "Repairing Repair")...
