Skeletal and cardiac muscle pericytes: Functions and therapeutic potential.

TL;DR: Skeletal muscle and cardiac pericytes are now recognized to fulfill an increasing number of functions in normal tissue homeostasis, including contributing to microvascular function by maintaining vessel stability and regulating capillary flow.

Higher Pericyte Content and Secretory Activity of Microfragmented Human Adipose Tissue Compared to Enzymatically Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction

TL;DR: In culture, microfragmented adipose tissue releases many more growth factors and cytokines involved in tissue repair and regeneration, noticeably via angiogenesis, compared to isogenic SVF, and it is suggested that the efficient tissue repair/regeneration observed after transplantation ofmicrofragments is due to the secretory ability of the intact perivascular niche.

Involvement of platelet-derived growth factor receptor β in fibrosis through extracellular matrix protein production after ischemic stroke

TL;DR: The expression level of PDGFRβ may be a crucial determinant of fibrosis after ischemic stroke, as it participates in the production of fibronectin and collagen type I after isChemic stroke.

Q&A: Mesenchymal stem cells - where do they come from and is it important?

TL;DR: This work states that candidate native MSCs have been identified within fetal and adult organs and may have important positive consequences for the therapeutic use of these cells.

Multilineage Potential of Adult Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

TL;DR: Adult stem cells isolated from marrow aspirates of volunteer donors could be induced to differentiate exclusively into the adipocytic, chondrocytic, or osteocytic lineages.

Human Adipose Tissue Is a Source of Multipotent Stem Cells

TL;DR: To confirm whether adipose tissue contains stem cells, the PLA population and multiple clonal isolates were analyzed using several molecular and biochemical approaches and PLA cells exhibited unique characteristics distinct from those seen in MSCs, including differences in CD marker profile and gene expression.

Mesenchymal stem cells

TL;DR: The study of mesenchymal stem cells, whether isolated from embryos or adults, provides the basis for the emergence of a new therapeutic technology of self‐cell repair.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells

TL;DR: The bone marrow contains multipotent MSC, which can be easily isolated and cultured in vitro, and the possibility of their clinical use in cell and gene therapy is analyzed.

Self-Renewing Osteoprogenitors in Bone Marrow Sinusoids Can Organize a Hematopoietic Microenvironment

TL;DR: It is shown that MCAM/CD146-expressing, subendothelial cells in human BM stroma are capable of transferring, upon transplantation, the HME to heterotopic sites, coincident with the establishment of identical subendOThelial cells within a miniature bone organ.
