Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are non-haematopoietic, multipotent stromal stem cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including: osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, and adipocytes. Human iPSC-derived mesenchymal stem cells express cell surface markers such as CD73, CD90, CD166, and CD105, in addition to Oct4 and Nanog. This expression profile is predictive of the long-term proliferative capacity of cultured human MSCs.
