Different Culture Media Affect Proliferation, Surface Epitope Expression, and Differentiation of Ovine MSC

Orthopedic implants including engineered bone tissue are commonly tested in sheep. To avoid rejection of heterologous or xenogeneic cells, autologous cells are preferably used, that is, ovine mesenchymal stem cells (oMSC).
