Flow cytometric cell sorting and in vitro pre-osteoinduction are not requirements for in vivo bone formation by human adipose-derived stromal cells.

Human adipose-derived stromal cells (hASCs) are a promising cell source for bone tissue engineering. However, before the clinical application of hASCs for the treatment of bone defects, key questions require answers, including whether pre-osteoinduction (OI) and flow cytometric cell purification are...
