context_page_description: Osteochondroprogenitor cells are progenitor cells that arise from mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow. They have the ability to differentiate into osteoblasts or chondrocytes depending on the signalling molecules they are exposed to, giving rise to either bone or cartilage respectively.
  Osteochondroprogenitor cells are important for bone formation and maintenance.
