Here we describe human bone marrow-derived MSC seeded in Integra matrices, a common type of scaffold for dermal regeneration (SDR). We show and measured the distribution of MSC within the SDR, where cells clearly establish physical interactions with the scaffold, exhibiting constant metabolic activity for at least 15 days.

Mesenchymal stromalstem cells (MSCs) in bone marrow differentiate into cellular components of the hematopoietic cell niche, including osteogenic cells. A human MSC transplantation into mice (xenotransplantation model) is one of the best available in vivo models to recapitulate MSC-mediated bone and bone marrow organization.
