Development of Humanized Ossicles: Bridging the Hematopoietic Gap
Trends in Molecular Medicine, 2020. Dupard SJ*, Grigoryan A*, Farhat S, Coutu DL, Bourgine PE. Abstract Ectopic 'humanized ossicles' (hOss) are miniaturized, engineered human bone organs in mice displaying a similar structure and function to native mouse bones. However, they are composed of human mesenchymal derived
