Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have potential in orthopaedic applications as they are able to differentiate into bone and cartilage. These cells can be isolated from a variety of adult tissues. Three sources that are relevant for orthopaedic applications are bone marrow, periosteum and adipose tissue. The purpose of the present study was to compare the growth kinetics and colony forming potency of rat MSCs from these sources.
