1. A method of generating bone in a patient in need thereof comprising:
- (i) obtaining mammalian mesenchymal stem cells;
(ii) producing a bone forming composition by culturing said mammalian mesenchymal stem cells in vitro on a three-dimensional marrow stromal cell derived extracellular matrix, isolating undifferentiated mammalian mesenchymal stem cells from said culture, and combining said undifferentiated mammalian mesenchymal stem cells with a transplantation vehicle; and
(iii) administering said bone forming composition to said patient;
wherein said extracellular matrix comprises type I collagen, type III collagen, type V collagen, syndecan-1, fibronectin, decorin, biglycan, perlecan, and laminin.
