Comparative analysis of gene expression identifies distinct molecular signatures of bone marrow- and periosteal skeletal stem/progenitor cells. Comparative analysis of gene expression identifies distinct molecular signatures of bone marrow- and periosteal skeletal stem/progenitor cells

Genetic comparison between periosteal skeletal stem cells and bone marrow skeletal stem cells in mice Overall design: Microarray was performed on periosteal derived skeletal stem cells and bone marrow derived skeletal stem cells in Mx1-cre; Ocn-GFP and Mx1-cre; Nestin-GFP mice, respectively. We used Affymetrix array.
