Journal ArticleDOI

Osteoblastic cells regulate the haematopoietic stem cell niche

TL;DR: Osteoblastic cells are a regulatory component of the haematopoietic stem cell niche in vivo that influences stem cell function through Notch activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osteopontin is a hematopoietic stem cell niche component that negatively regulates stem cell pool size.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that OPN modifies primitive hematopoietic cell number and function in a stem cell–nonautonomous manner and may provide a mechanism for restricting excess stem cell expansion under conditions of niche stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activated parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone–related protein receptor in osteoblastic cells differentially affects cortical and trabecular bone

TL;DR: These findings identify the PPR as a crucial mediator of both bone-forming and bone-resorbing actions of PTH, and underline the complexity and heterogeneity of the osteoblast population and/or their regulatory microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic targeting of a stem cell niche.

TL;DR: It is shown that pharmacologic use of PTH increases the number of HS cells mobilized into the peripheral blood for stem cell harvests, protects stem cells from repeated exposure to cytotoxic chemotherapy and expands stem cells in transplant recipients.
Journal ArticleDOI

The hematopoietic stem cell niche in homeostasis and disease

TL;DR: It is highlighted that stem cell niches in the bone marrow are not static but instead are responsive to environmental stimuli and how these alterations might contribute to disease pathogenesis is discussed.
