Researchers find new way to force stem cells to become bone cells
Medical Xpress By treating stem cells – which can become fat or bone cells – with cytochalasin D– the result was clear: the stem cells became bone cells. Further, injecting a small amount of cytochalasin D into the bone marrow space of mice caused bone to form.
