Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBP) play important roles in bone metabolism. IGFBP4 is involved in senescent-associated phenomena in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The goal of the present study was to determine whether age-related IGFBP4 overexpression is associated with the impaired osteogenic differentiation potential of aged bone marrow derived MSCs.
