"Both commercial BMAC systems significantly concentrated MSC populations, platelets and growth factors, but not hematopoietic progenitor cells, compared to untreated marrow aspirate from single donors. This is an important finding as the number of MSCs in BM is small, estimated at 0.01–0.02%, compared to other cell types. Our data corroborate other studies showing BMAC systems are effective in concentrating MSCs."
Quantitation of progenitor cell populations and growth factors after bone marrow aspirate concentration - Journal of Translational Medicine
Background The number of Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) in the human bone marrow (BM) is small compared to other cell types. BM aspirate concentration (BMAC) may be used to increase numbers of MSCs, but the composition of MSC subpopulations and growth factors after processing are unknown...
