Human cardiac and bone marrow stromal cells exhibit distinctive properties related to their origin

TL;DR: Comparisons of in vitro and in vivo properties of adult human cardiac stromal cells (CStC) to those of syngeneic BMStC demonstrate that although CStC and BMstC share a commonStromal phenotype, C StC present cardiovascular-associated features and may represent an important cell source for more efficient cardiac repair.

Sample preparation for high-resolution 3D confocal imaging of mouse skeletal tissue

TL;DR: This procedure involves tissue fixation, decalcification and cryosectioning of the mouse skeletal tissue to generate thick sections that are compatible with the analysis of genetically expressed fluorescent proteins but they also preserve antigenicity, thus enabling diverse combinations of antibody labeling.

Coculture of dental pulp stem cells with endothelial cells enhances osteo-/odontogenic and angiogenic potential in vitro.

TL;DR: Direct coculture of DPSCs and ECs enhances the in vitro differentiation toward osteo-/odontogenic and angiogenic phenotypes and stabilized preexisting vessel-like structures formed by ECs and increased the longevity of them.

Overexpression of Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB Increases Tumor Pericyte Content via Stromal-Derived Factor-1α/CXCR4 Axis

TL;DR: The results highlight that the involvement of SDF-1alpha/CXCR4 axis is essential for the pericyte recruitment within the PDGF-BB-overexpressing tumor xenograft models and raise the possibility that blockade of the SDF -1alpha-CX CR4 axis may provide a therapeutic synergy with antiangiogenic molecules that selectively target 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.

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.
