The mesenchymal stromal cell contribution to homeostasis.

30 Oct 2008 Adult mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are undifferentiated multi-potent cells predominantly residing in the bone marrow (BM), but also present with similar but not identical features in many other tissues such as blood, placenta, dental pulp, and ... Read more...

Neural stem cells confer unique pinwheel architecture to the ventricular surface in neurogenic regions of the adult brain.

9 Sep 2008 Neural stem cells (NSCs, B1 cells) are retained in the walls of the adult lateral ventricles but, unlike embryonic NSCs, are displaced from the ventricular zone (VZ) into the subventricular zone (SVZ) by ependymal cells. Apical and basal ... Read more...

A specialized vascular niche for adult neural stem cells.

9 Sep 2008 Stem cells reside in specialized niches that regulate their self-renewal and differentiation. The vasculature is emerging as an important component of stem cell niches. Here, we show that the adult subventricular zone (SVZ) neural stem cell niche ... Read more...
