New Insights into Osteogenic and Chondrogenic Differentiation of Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Potential Clinical Applications for Bone Regeneration in Pediatric Orthopaedics

Figure 1

Multipotent differentiation of BM hMSCs. The commitment and differentiation of hMSCs towards osteogenic, chondrogenic, adipogenic, or myogenic lineage are regulated by specific transcription factors (indicated in blue). ALP, alkaline phosphatase; Col-I, type I collagen; OPN, osteopontin; BMP, bone matrix protein; OC, osteocalcin; Col-II, type II collagen; Col-X, type X collagen; MMP-3, matrix metalloproteinase-3.
