How Can Osteoprogenitor Cells Be Identified in Histological Sections?
In histological sections, osteoprogenitor cells can be identified by their location and morphological characteristics. They are typically found lining bone surfaces and have a spindle-shaped appearance. Immunohistochemical staining techniques can also be used to identify these cells, with markers such as [osteopontin](#) and [osteonectin](#) indicating their presence. Additionally, markers like Runx2 and Osterix are specific to osteoprogenitor cells and their early differentiation stages.
