The highly significant pro-osteogenic effect we observed in vivo when Smurf1 -silenced MSCs were implanted into an ectopic mouse model compared to the results obtained in vitro would reinforce the key paracrine role of the secretome of MSCs where this gene has been transiently silenced [ 24 , 25 ].
