Sox9 Modulates Proliferation and Expression of Osteogenic Markers of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ASC)

TL;DR: A pro-proliferative role for Sox9 in undifferentiated rASC is suggested which may explain the higher proliferation rate of rASC compared to rBMSC and an osteogenic differentiation delaying role of Sox9 is proposed which suggests that Sox9 expression is needed to maintain rASC in an undifferentiate, proliferative state.

Repair of Tissues by Adult Stem/Progenitor Cells (MSCs): Controversies, Myths, and Changing Paradigms

TL;DR: The results have generated several controversies, a few myths and a change in a major paradigm, and how they can be applied to the adult stem/progenitor cells from bone marrow, referred to as MSCs are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feeder-free derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells from adult human adipose stem cells.

TL;DR: It is shown here that induced pluripotent stem cells can be generated from adult human adipose stem cells (hASCs) freshly isolated from patients, and can be readily derived from adult hASCs in a feeder-free condition, thereby eliminating potential variability caused by using feeder 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.

Marrow Stromal Cells as Stem Cells for Nonhematopoietic Tissues

TL;DR: Marrow stromal cells present an intriguing model for examining the differentiation of stem cells and have several characteristics that make them potentially useful for cell and gene therapy.

Bone marrow as a potential source of hepatic oval cells.

TL;DR: A stem cell associated with the bone marrow has epithelial cell lineage capability and a proportion of the regenerated hepatic cells were shown to be donor-derived.

Dystrophin expression in the mdx mouse restored by stem cell transplantation

TL;DR: Results suggest that the transplantation of different stem cell populations, using the procedures of bone marrow transplantation, might provide an unanticipated avenue for treating muscular dystrophy as well as other diseases where the systemic delivery of therapeutic cells to sites throughout the body is critical.
