Marrow stromal cells are able to generate a series of terminally differentiated cells in vitro. However, most of these experiments are performed with heterogeneous stromal cells, which had been obtained by adherence to plastic culture dishes. Since it is demonstrated that bone marrow-derived stromal cells are purified to a homogeneous population that met the criteria for nonhematopoietic stem cells, these cells have been termed mesenchymal stem cells because they generate an array of cells, defined as mesenchymal cells.

Stem Cell Research: Beyond Hype, Real Hope by the Family Research Council (www.frc.org). This public domain film is consistent with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, which state that the ablation of the inner cell mass (ICM) of the blastocyst, which critically and irremediably damages the human embryo, curtailing its development, is a gravely immoral act and consequently is gravely illicit.

Marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have short proliferative longevity, compared with embryonic stem cells, and thus, important challenge in regenerative medicine is to improve the replicative capacity of human hMSCs. The life span of hMSCs have successfully been prolonged by bmi-1, which reduces p16INK4a expression and is essential for self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells.
