Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotential in vitro, but their endogenous properties are poorly defined. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Park et al. (2012) report that an MSC-like, osteolineage-directed Mx1+ population generates new osteoblasts at sites of bone damage, suggesting its potential for skeletal repair and regeneration.
