Simultaneous Cultivation of Human Endothelial–like Differentiated Precursor Cells and Human Marrow Stromal Cells on β-Tricalcium Phosphate

Abstract

MSC and EPC can be cultivated in combination on a fibronectin-coated beta-TCP, thereby partly maintaining their lineage typical gene expression. The results of the in vivo examinations suggest that beta-TCP combined with EPC and MSC can used as a suitable tool to foster bone healing.
