Platelet-derived stromal cell-derived factor-1 is required for the transformation of circulating monocytes into multipotential cells.
BACKGROUND: We previously described a primitive cell population derived from human circulating CD14(+) monocytes, named monocyte-derived multipotential cells (MOMCs), which are capable of differentiating into mesenchymal and endothelial lineages. To generate MOMCs in vitro, monocytes are required to...
