The Tunica Adventitia of Human Arteries and Veins As a Source of Mesenchymal Stem Cells

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the co-existence of 2 separate perivascular MSC progenitors: pericytes in capillaries and microvessels and adventitial cells around larger vessels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospective identification of myogenic endothelial cells in human skeletal muscle

TL;DR: Myoendothelial cells regenerate myofibers in the injured skeletal muscle of severe combined immunodeficiency mice more effectively than CD56+ myogenic progenitors, are amenable to biotechnological handling, including purification by flow cytometry and long-term expansion in vitro, and may have potential for the treatment of human muscle disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A role for cell sex in stem cell–mediated skeletal muscle regeneration: female cells have higher muscle regeneration efficiency

TL;DR: It is shown here that cell sex is a variable that considerably influences MDSCs' regeneration abilities and should persuade researchers to report cell sex, which is a largely unexplored variable, and consider the implications of relying on cells of one sex.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Reservoir of Brown Adipocyte Progenitors in Human Skeletal Muscle

TL;DR: The existence in human skeletal muscle and the prospective isolation of progenitor cells with a high potential for UCP1 expression are shown for the first time and the discovery of this reservoir generates a new hope of treating obesity by acting on energy dissipation.
