.... However, recent in vivo tracking experiments have revealed the presence of SSCs not only within the bone marrow but also within the periosteum and growth plate reserve zone. These studies show that SSCs are highly heterogeneous with regard to lineage potential. It has also been revealed that, during digit...

... studies, FITC-labeled vertebra periosteal cells were detected in proximal, but not distal, CT areas. Conversely, FITC-labeled blastema cells were restricted to distal CT regions. Proximal cartilage formation was inhibited by removal of periosteum and could be recapitulated in vitro by periosteal cells...

... adult bone regeneration in mouse. (A , B) In a homotopic tibial or mandibular graft, both embryonic origin and Hox code are equal (+),which leads to osteogenic differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells. (C)When mandibular periosteum is transplanted into a tibial injury, the embryonic origin of the graft...
