Abstract

To evaluate therapeutic efficacy and to investigate involved molecular mechanisms of cell-based therapy in osteoporosis, the generation of a clinically relevant model is critically important. Herein, we describe detailed methods in generation of an immune-deficient osteoporotic murine model, and application of human umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells to assess their therapeutic efficacy.
