For cell-based bone tissue engineering, various tissues derived cells are utilized since osteogenic cells can be harvested from bone marrow, periosteum, and adipose tissue, though recent studies indicate that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs, bone marrow derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, or mesenchymal stem cells) are the most reliable cell source because of their superior osteogenic ability (Hayashi et al., 2008). However, it is difficult to obtain adequate numbers of transplantable BMSCs from bone marrow aspirates, as they are rare in the bone marrow (less than of marrow cells) (Montzka et al., 2010) | EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS -RECENT ADVANCES IN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELL-BASED REGENERATIVE MEDICINE Edited by Craig S.
