  1. Surface receptors are one of the ways MSCs respond to their surroundings and interact with other cells and tissue. Similar to the gene expression alteration under MSC differentiation conditions, some factors may be induced under certain conditions. This list is compiled data from human MSCs and is very similar in other species but may not be identical. Due to the large number of factors and publications, the reader should search PubMed for species MSCs and the factor of interest to find 10−50 references—the early work as well as the most recent
