Equine bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stromal cells ( <scp>BMDMSC</scp> s) from the ilium and sternum: Are there differences?

Abstract

The first 5 ml aspirates from the sternum and ilium offer a rich supply of bone marrow-derived MSCs with similar growth rate characteristics. The harvesting procedure of only a 5 ml draw from either the sternum or ilium should result in adequate numbers of MSCs.
