Clonal composition of human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells.

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) are a heterogeneous population consisting of cells with a distinct proliferative potential. The aim of this study was to define clonal composition in MMSCs and trace the dynamics of individual clones in MMSC subpopulations with different proliferative potentials during the process of cultivation. The investigation was performed at single-cell level using genetically marked cells.
