Can you suggest a list of microRNAs which are specific only to mesenchymal stem cells, irrespective of its origin?

We have already studied microRNA profiling of BM-MSCs also ESCs-MSCs and Adipo derived MSCs. But I am looking for a certain set of microRNAs which are highly specific to mesenchymal stem cells.

Dear Rohan and Konstantin thanks for your inputs...

Arash Javeri

Roche's miRNA isolation kit is very efficient for this task and I have always been quite satisfied with that.

@ Arash thnks..
