Journal ArticleDOI
Mesenchymal progenitor cells in human umbilical cord blood.
TL;DR: The results suggest that preterm, as compared with term, cord blood is richer in mesenchymal progenitors, similar to haematopoietic progenitor cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesenchymal stem cells
TL;DR: This work will review the information dealing with the biology of mesenchymal progenitors as it has been revealed mainly by ex vivo studies performed with bone marrow-derived cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Cord Blood-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Home and Survive in the Marrow of Immunodeficient Mice after Systemic Infusion:

TL;DR: Homing and survival of cbMSC into the recipient marrow is demonstrated and a mesenchymal-orientated fate of engrafted cells is suggested, because human DNA was also detected in cells of other recipient tissues, like cardiac muscle, teeth, and spleen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biology and clinical utilization of mesenchymal progenitor cells.
TL;DR: A number of fundamental questions about the cellular and molecular biology of MPC still need to be resolved before these cells can be used for safe and effective cell and gene therapies intended to replace, repair or enhance the physiological function of the mesenchymal and/or hematopoietic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
gp130 Activation by soluble interleukin-6 receptor/interleukin-6 enhances osteoblastic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells
TL;DR: IL-6R deficiency may represent for bone marrow-located mesenchymal progenitors a sort of protective mechanism to escape the osteogenic effect of IL-6, which is produced by the MSC itself as well as by other marrow stromal cells.
