ABSTRACT: Background
Human induced pluripotent stem cells represent a scalable source of youthful tissue progenitors and secretomes for regenerative therapies. The aim of our study was to investigate the potential of conditioned medium (CM) from hiPSC-mesenchymal progenitors (hiPSC-MPs) to stimulate osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). We also investigated whether prolonged cultivation or osteogenic pre-differentiation of hiPSC-MPs could enhance the stimulatory activity of CM.Methods
MSCs were isolated from 13 donors (age 20-90 years). CM derived from hiPSC-MPs was added to the MSC cultures and the effects on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were examined after 14 days and 6 weeks. The stimulatory activity of hiPSC-MP-C
