Therapeutic Potential of Human Nasal Inferior Turbinate-Derived Stem Cells: Microarray Analysis of Multilineage Differentiation

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Human nasal inferior turbinate-derived stem cells (hNTSCs) are attractive sources of adult stem cells for medical application because they can be easily obtained and cultivated with a highly proliferative capacity. The ability of hNTSCs to differentiate into chondrocytes, osteocytes, and neural cells makes them potential replacement therapeutic candidates in intractable disease. Nevertheless,...
