Project description

Human embryonic stem cells are expanded in vitro without the use of feeder-layers. After expansion cells are differentiated into the osteogenic lineage using specific culture conditions and selection of subpopulations. Teratoma formation and ectopic bone formation are evaluated in vivo in immunodeficient mice.
