  Chondrocyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When referring to bone or cartilage, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are commonly known as osteochondrogenic (or osteogenic, chondrogenic, osteoprogenitor, etc.) cells since a single MSC has shown the ability to differentiate into chondrocytes or osteoblasts, depending on the medium.
In vivo, differentiation of a MSC in a vascularized area (such as bone) yields an osteoblasts while differentiation of a MSC in a non-vascularized area (such as cartilage) yields a chondrocyte.
This terminology is technically inaccurate, since the progenitor of chondrocytes (which are mesenchymal stem cells) can also differentiate into osteoblasts.

In addition, mesenchymal stem cells have been demonstrated to differentiate into a variety of non-hematopoietic tissues including bone, cartilage, tendon, fat, skeletal and cardiac muscle, and early progenitors of neural cells.
Preclinical and early clinical safety studies are paving the way for further applications of these cells in the field of transplantation with respect to hematopoietic support, immunoregulation, graft facilitation, and potentially gene therapy.
Preclinical studies suggest mesenchymal stem cells may enhance the ability of the bone marrow microenviornment to support hematopoiesis after stem cell transplantation.

Frozen cells were subsequently rapidly thawed at 37°C, washed with 10 mL of PBS and plated at a low density (~200/cm2) in growth medium.
Rapid achievement of a homogeneous cell suspension within the tissue culture flask containing growth medium is necessary to establish uniform cell distribution within the culture.
All cell lines are extensively tested to assure: a) sterility, b) absence of common human viruses (HBV, HCV and HIV1), c) absence of mycoplasma and, d) achievement of performance specifications prior to QC release.

Since then, it has become well established that the stroma consists of a heterogeneous population of cells, a subset of which exerts both positive and negative regulatory effects on the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in the marrow through a combination of physical and chemical signals.
The cultured cells derived from the fibroblast colonies can be further expanded over a number of passages, after which they retain their ability to differentiate into a variety of mature cell types.
Additionally, MesenCult™ can be used to expand MSC in vitro, after which the cells retain their ability to differentiate along various lineages upon the addition of the appropriate stimulatory supplements.

 Appendix E: Stem Cell Markers [Stem Cell Information]
Normally, cells use these receptors and the molecules that bind to them as a way of communicating with other cells and to carry out their proper functions in the body.
Stem cell markers are given short-hand names based on the molecules that bind to the stem cell surface receptors.
With this technique, a suspension of tagged cells (i.e., bound to the cell surface markers are fluorescent tags) is sent under pressure through a very narrow nozzle—so narrow that cells must pass through one at a time.

Mesenchymal cells also known as mesenchymal stem cells or marrow stromal cells (MSC) are stem cells that can differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes and adipocytes.
MSCs cultured without serum in the presence of transformation growth factor (TGF) will differentiate into chondrocytes while MSCs cultured in serum with ascorbic acid and dexamethasone will differentiate into osteoblasts.
