Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells found in bone marrow, adipose tissue, and other organs. These cells can differentiate into various mesodermal tissue types, including:

  • Bone
  • Cartilage
  • Fat
  • Other connective tissues

Because of their unique regenerative and immunomodulatory properties, MSCs are a key focus in regenerative medicine research. They are being studied for their potential to:

  • Promote tissue repair and healing
  • Regulate immune system activity
  • Prevent graft-versus-host disease (GvHD)
  • Treat inflammatory conditions such as Crohn’s disease
  • Enable cell replacement therapies for bone and cartilage regeneration

Step-by-step guide to mesenchymal stem cell research products

Gibco media include a broad selection of specialty products optimized for mesenchymal stem cell populations.

These media are designed to help minimize adaptation time, maximize cell performance, and meet regulatory requirements.


These tools may be used to engineer your mesenchymal stem cells in order to study differentiation methods or the effects of disease specific genes.

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation kits are used for reliable induction of human MSCs into adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts.

These kits complement StemPro MSC SFM XenoFree, StemPro MSC SFM, MesenPRO RS Medium, and MSC-Qualified FBS–containing cell expansion systems. The kits are produced under cGMP, and each lot is performance-qualified by PCR and its ability to support differentiation of human, mouse, and rat MSCs. Reconstituted media from differentiation kits (basal medium plus supplement) are stable for up to 1 month.

We also offer a number of high-quality growth factors and cytokines for targeted differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. These proteins are extensively tested to help ensure high biological activity and purity, freeze–thaw stability, and structural homogeneity.

Validating mesenchymal stem cells to help ensure they are multipotent or have differentiated into the desired cell type is a critical step in your research.

TaqMan® Arrays simultaneously analyze the expression levels of 96 genes by quantitative PCR, while TaqMan® Protein Assays enable relative protein quantification of stem cell protein markers from limited quantities of stem cells.
