The human body contains many specialized tissues that are capable
of fulfilling an incredible variety of functions necessary for our
survival. This volume in the Human Cell Culture Series focuses on
mesenchymal tissues and cells. The in vitro study of mesenchymal
cells is perhaps the oldest form of human cell culture, beginning
with the culturing of fibroblasts. Fibroblasts have long been
generically described in the literature, arising from many tissue
types upon in vitro cell culture. However, recent studies, many
enabled by new molecular biology techniques, have shown
considerable diversity in fibroblast type and function, as
described within this volume. Mesenchymal tissue types that are
described within include bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments,
muscle, adipose tissue, and skin (dermis). The proper function of
these tissues is predominantly dependent upon the proper
proliferation, differentiation, and function of the mesenchymal
cells which make up the tissue. Recent advancements in primary
human mesenchymal cell culture have led to remarkable progress in
the study of these tissues. Landmark experiments have now
demonstrated a stem cell basis for many of these tissues, and,
furthermore, significant plasticity and inter-conversion of stem
cells between these tissues, resulting in a great deal of
contemporary excitement and controversy. Newly-developed
mesenchymal cell culture techniques have even lead to novel
clinical practices for the treatment of disease.
