Novel methods of creating personalized mesenchymal stem cells from pluripotent stem cells, including the utilization of
extracellular matrix components, optionally seeded with exogenous differentiation factors for creation of a substrate for promotion of
mesenchymal stem cell formation from pluripotent
cell populations. Matrices useful for stimulation of differentiation include decellularized
bone matrix, placental matrix, and
adipose tissue derived matrix. Growth factors such as BMP2, BMP4, GDF-11, and
stem cell factor can be added to said matrix. Stimulation of differentiation can be induced by
exposure to conditioned media isolated from mesenchymal stem cells.
