Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a great capacity for use in regenerative medicine and other clinical applications. However, one question creating curiosity of their use, is how they are affected by ageing. As we now live within an ageing population, the prevalence of age related disorders is increasing, so it is important to investigate how effectively MSCs from older patients can be expanded and differentiated in vitro before their use in autologous cell transplantation. This paper will look at how ageing effects proliferation potential, differentiation potential and cell surface characterisation of human mesenchymal stem cells.
