TLDR
It is learned that the archetypal "mesenchymal stem cell" can be directly identified as a specialized type of mural cell/pericyte, found in the wall of sinusoids and long known as adventitial reticular cells.Abstract:
At the turn of a decade of intensive wishful thinking, "mesenchymal stem cells" are changing their profile, while retaining their charm. As hopes to turn bone into brain or vice versa seem on the wane, we learn (1) that the archetypal "mesenchymal stem cell," the skeletal stem cell found in the bone marrow, can be directly identified as a specialized type of mural cell/pericyte, found in the wall of sinusoids and long known as adventitial reticular cells; (2) that bone marrow skeletal stem cells are also defined by expression of CD146, and can self-renew in vivo, while giving rise to skeletal tissues, and therefore earn consideration as bona fide stem cells; (3) that a broader class of microvascular mural cells endowed with clonogenicity and progenitor properties may exist in other tissues, although their true potency needs to be firmly established by stringent assays and thorough comparisons across tissues; (4) that bone marrow skeletal stem cells display unique angiopoietic and hematopoietic niche-related functions, consisting in their ability to transfer the hematopoietic microenvironment and to guide the assembly of microvascular networks, which seem to define their inherent biology; and (5) that use of skeletal stem cells as disease models, and as models of high-risk strategies for cell and gene therapy specifically in incurable skeletal diseases, may provide new challenges for the next decade, and perhaps reward for medicine in the one that follows.read more

Cancer to bone: a fatal attraction
TL;DR: Understanding the crucial components of the bone microenvironment that influence tumour localization, along with the tumour-derived factors that modulate cellular and protein matrix components of bone to favour tumour expansion and invasion, is central to the pathophysiology of bone metastases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The elusive nature and function of mesenchymal stem cells.
TL;DR: MSCs have been operationally defined by their ability to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes after in vitro expansion, but their identity in vivo, heterogeneity, anatomical localization and functional roles in adult tissue homeostasis have remained enigmatic.

TL;DR: The purpose of the review is to assess state of the art and future perspectives of the so called "smart biomaterials" from a translational science and specifically clinical point of view and to filter out and discuss which biomedical advances and innovations help to achieve the objective to translate smart biomMaterials from bench to bedside.

Bone tissue engineering via nanostructured calcium phosphate biomaterials and stem cells.
TL;DR: These understandings would help researchers to further uncover the underlying mechanisms and interactions in nano-CaP stem cell constructs in vitro and in vivo, tailor nano- CaP composite construct design and stem cell type selection to enhance cell function and bone regeneration, and translate laboratory findings to clinical treatments.

TL;DR: The Mesenchymal and Tissue Stem Cell Committee of the International Society for Cellular Therapy proposes minimal criteria to define human MSC, believing this minimal set of standard criteria will foster a more uniform characterization of MSC and facilitate the exchange of data among investigators.
