The phrase "osteogenic potential" refers to the ability or capacity of something to promote or stimulate the growth and development of bones. Full definition
«Results demonstrate that ECIS can potentially be used to screen for osteogenic potential of hASC, track the stages of osteogenic differentiation for quality control purposes and better explain the underlying biological causes of variability among donors — and since the results typically are in «real - time,» this technology could be incorporated into future manufacturing to track hASC throughout the process.» (sciencedaily.com)
Now, new research from the laboratory of Carl Gregory (Texas A&M Health Science Center, USA) published in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine now demonstrates that WNT stimulation of human BM via a rapid exposure to a previously tested GSK3β - inhibitor [4] significantly increases osteogenic potential and improves therapeutic outcomes in a rat spinal fusion model [5].

Human bone marrow (BM)- derived progenitor and stem cells administered with an appropriate scaffold represents a potentially exciting alternative treatment option [2], but only if we can discover a safe and rapid strategy to enhance the relatively low inherent osteogenic potential of BM.
