In Vitro Osteogenic Differentiation and In Vivo Bone-Forming Capacity of Human Isogenic Jaw Periosteal Cells and Bone Marrow Stromal Cells

Abstract

Our data indicate that JPCs, although displaying features of osteogenic cells, would not be as reliable as BMSCs for cell-based bone tissue engineering, and suggest that expression of osteoblast-related markers in vitro could be used to predict whether cells would be osteoinductive in vivo.
