Abstract

Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) include cells with multi-directional differentiation potential, such as the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). For clinical use, it is important to develop safe and efficient methods of isolating BMSCs from the bone marrow. A new concept is to use a filtering device that selectively traps BMSCs from bone marrow aspirates based on its affinity to the filter material. The cells are then recovered by a retrograde flow in a closed system. This method is more efficient, faster, and easier to use than the density gradient method. Because this method is performed in a closed system without centrifugation, no biologically clean area is required, giving this method a great advantage in clinical applications.
