Abstract:Abstract:The physiological process of bone healing takes place in three sequential stages: inflammation, repair and remodelling. Multipotential stromal cells (MSCs) are the key progenitor cells for osteoblasts and chondrocytes and are also imbued with immunomodulatory capabilities.Although MSCs are well known to be involved in osteogenesis during the later stages of repair, their role during the inflammatory phase and precise interactions with immune cells remain poorly understood. This chapter describes the c… Show more
