The effect of TRAP 5a (acp5 5a) on proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Here we aim to characterize how TRAP 5a acts as a growth factor for mesenchymal stem cells inducing new tissue.
Effect of TRAP 5a on mesenchymal stem cells
Osteoclast heterogenity
Osteoclast (OC) heterogenity (Euroclast project www.euroclast.eu). New data implicates that OCs are a heterogenous population. Here we aim to understand the effect of this heterogenity on OC function.
