Journal ArticleDOI

Hiroshi Kawada,Jun Fujita,Kentaro Kinjo,Yumi Matsuzaki,Mitsuyo Tsuma,Hiroko Miyatake,Yukari Muguruma,Kosuke Tsuboi,Yuji Itabashi,Yasuo Ikeda,Satoshi Ogawa,Hideyuki Okano,Tomomitsu Hotta,Kiyoshi Ando,Keiichi Fukuda +14 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the origin of the vast majority of BM-derived cardiomyocytes is MSCs, which are derived from nonhematopoietic BM cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells embedded in Atelocollagen gel to the intervertebral disc: a potential therapeutic model for disc degeneration.
Daisuke Sakai,Joji Mochida,Yukihiro Yamamoto,Takeshi Nomura,Masahiko Okuma,Kazuhiro Nishimura,Tomoko Nakai,Kiyoshi Ando,Tomomitsu Hotta +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that MSC transplantation is effective in decelerating disc degeneration in experimental models and provided new hopes for treatment of degenerative disc disease in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regenerative effects of transplanting mesenchymal stem cells embedded in atelocollagen to the degenerated intervertebral disc.
Daisuke Sakai,Joji Mochida,Toru Iwashina,Akihiko Hiyama,Hiroko Omi,Masaaki Imai,Tomoko Nakai,Kiyoshi Ando,Tomomitsu Hotta +8 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that transplantation of MSCs effectively led to regeneration of IVDs in a rabbit model of disc degeneration as suggested in a previous pilot study, indicating that MSC's may serve as a valuable resource in cell transplantation therapy for degenerative disc disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Transplanted to a Rabbit Degenerative Disc Model : Potential and Limitations for Stem Cell Therapy in Disc Regeneration
Daisuke Sakai,Joji Mochida,Toru Iwashina,Takuya Watanabe,Tomoko Nakai,Kiyoshi Ando,Tomomitsu Hotta +6 more
TL;DR: MSCs transplanted to degenerative discs in rabbits proliferated and differentiated into cells expressing some of the major phenotypic characteristics of nucleus pulposus cells, suggesting that these MSCs may have undergone site-dependent differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of myogenic-endothelial progenitor cells in the interstitial spaces of skeletal muscle.
Tetsuro Tamaki,Akira Akatsuka,Kiyoshi Ando,Yoshihiko Nakamura,Hideyuki Matsuzawa,Tomomitsu Hotta,Roland R. Roy,V. Reggie Edgerton +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that myo-endothelial progenitors reside in the interstitial spaces of mammalian skeletal muscles, and that they can potentially contribute to postnatal skeletal muscle growth.
