Different existing sub-populations of MSC. Various sub-populations exist within a particular type of MSCs. Based on the presence of cell surface markers, some sub-population may have different properties, and thus may be used for a specific function

MSC subpopulation	Source	Differentiation capacity and Enhanced Properties	References
CD105+	AD and UC	Enhanced angiogenesis, chondrogenesis, and increased proliferation	(97)
CD105-	AD and UC	Enhanced osteogenesis, higher immunosuppressive ability	(91,98)
CD200+	BM and UC	Enhanced osteogenesis and immunoregulation	(92)
STRO-1+	BM, DP, SM	Arteriogenesis, cardiac recovery and homing ability	(88)
CD271+	AD, BM and synovium	High CFU, enhanced HSC engraftment, superior chondral repair, high proliferation	(90,91)
