Abstract
Our findings indicate that functional OCT expression in UC-MSCs is a biological prerequisite that facilitates the intracellular uptake of metformin to induce an osteogenic effect. Future pre-clinical studies are warranted to investigate whether the expression of functional OCTs may serve as a potential biomarker to predict osteogenic responses to metformin.
