Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells found in the bone marrow that are important for creating and repairing skeletal tissues, like cartilage, bone and therefore the fat found in the bone marrow. These are not to be confused with hematopoietic (blood) stem cells that are also found in the bone marrow and make our blood.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) also referred to as mesenchymal stromal cells or medicinal signaling cells are multipotent stromal cells which will differentiate into a spread of cell types, including osteoblasts (bone cells), chondrocytes (cartilage cells), myocytes (muscle cells) and adipocytes (fat cells which produce to marrow adipose tissue). Mesenchyme is embryonic animal tissue that's derived from the mesoderm which differentiates into hematopoietic and animal tissue, whereas MSCs don't differentiate into hematopoietic cells. Stromal cells are animal tissue cells that form the supportive structure during which the functional cells of the tissue reside.
