Chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells: challenges and unfulfilled expectations.

TL;DR: The challenges that must be overcome before MSC-based tissue engineering can become a front-line technology for successful articular cartilage regeneration are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein synthesis and secretion in human mesenchymal cells derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue and Wharton’s jelly

TL;DR: Mesenchymal stromal cells purified from different tissues have different angiogenic, inflammatory and matrix remodeling potential properties and these abilities should be further characterized in order to choose the best protocols for their therapeutic use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Renal interstitial fibrosis: mechanisms and evaluation.

TL;DR: Tubulointerstitial injury in the kidney is complex, involving a number of independent and overlapping cellular and molecular pathways, with renal interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) as the final common pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differentiation of multipotent vascular stem cells contributes to vascular diseases

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the differentiation of MVSCs, rather than the de-differentiation of SMCs, contributes to vascular remodeling and diseases, and this hypothesis is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation, expansion and functional analysis of endothelial cells and pericytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: This protocol describes the efficient generation of ECs and pericytes from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) under defined conditions and describes two assays for functional evaluation of hPSC-derived ECs.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
