The age-related defects in osteoblast number and function may be due to quantitative and qualitative stem cell defects. Early commitment and conversion of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) towards osteoblastic lineage is a critical step in the process of bone formation and bone remodeling, which is regulated by various systemic hormones and local factors. There are a few studies that analyze whether changes in the functional characteristics of osteoblastic progenitor cells, the BMSCs.

Abstract


The age-related defects in osteoblast number and function may be due to quantitative and qualitative stem cell defects. Early commitment and conversion of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) towards osteoblastic lineage is a critical step in the process of bone formation and bone remodeling, which is regulated by various systemic hormones and local factors. There are a few studies that analyze whether changes in the functional characteristics of osteoblastic progenitor cells, the BMSCs.
