MicroRNAs comprise a group of non-coding small RNAs (17-25 nt) involved in post-transcriptional regulation that have been identified in various plants and animals. Studies have demonstrated that miRNAs are associated with stem cell self-renewal and differentiation and play a key role in controlling

Abstract
In this work, we examined the culture condition of alveolar bone marrow multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (ABMMSCs), aiming to apply regenerative therapy to older periodontitis patients. To better understand the character of cultured cells from alveolar bone marrow, the expression profiles of wellβknown genes and their responses to the induction of osteogenic, chondrogenic, or adipogenic differentiation were examined. Using Ξ±MEMβbased culture, ABMMSCs could be obtained from older individuals than in previous reports. Interestingly, ABMMSCs expressing Klf4 were able to differentiate into osteoblasts. The prediction of differentiation potential by Klf4 could be a useful guide for further improvement of the culture conditions required to culture ABMMSCs derived from older individuals. J. Cell.

This study addresses the role of bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) in chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (BM MSCs) in vitro. BM MSCs were expanded and differentiated in the presence or absence of BMP-7 in monolayer and three-dime
## Abstract Osteogenic cells differentiated from bone marrowβderived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) hold much promise in bone tissue engineering and reconstructive surgery. There is a dire need for wellβdefined and efficient protocols to promote the osteogenesis of __ex vivo__ cultured MSC. Hence,
## Abstract Human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) expanded in vitro for cell therapy approaches need to be carefully investigated for genetic stability, by employing both molecular and conventional karyotyping. Reliability of cytogenetic analysis may be hampered in some MSC samples by the difficul
