Hematopoietic stem cell niche maintenance during homeostasis and regeneration

TL;DR: Recently discovered intrinsic mechanisms, microenvironmental interactions and communication with surrounding cells involved in HSC regulation, during homeostasis and in regeneration after injury are highlighted and their implications for regenerative therapy are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiocrine functions of organ-specific endothelial cells

TL;DR: Uncovering the mechanisms by which organotypic endothelium distributes physiological levels of angiocrine factors both spatially and temporally will lay the foundation for clinical trials that promote organ repair without scarring.

Lung Stem Cell Differentiation in Mice Directed by Endothelial Cells via a BMP4-NFATc1-Thrombospondin-1 Axis

TL;DR: Gain- and loss-of-function experiments showed that BMP4-Bmpr1a signaling triggers calcineurin/NFATc1-dependent expression of thrombospondin-1 (Tsp1) in lung endothelial cells to drive alveolar lineage-specific BASC differentiation, elucidate a pathway that may be a critical target in lung diseases and provide tools to understand the mechanisms of respiratory diseases at the single-cell level.

Endothelial and perivascular cells maintain haematopoietic stem cells

TL;DR: HSCs reside in a perivascular niche in which multiple cell types express factors that promote HSC maintenance, and were depleted from bone marrow when Scf was deleted from endothelial cells or leptin receptor (Lepr)-expressing periv vascular stromal cells.

Astrocytes induce blood–brain barrier properties in endothelial cells

TL;DR: Direct evidence is provided that astrocytes are capable of inducing blood–brain barrier properties in non-neural endothelial cells in vivo.

Phenotypic Heterogeneity of the Endothelium: I. Structure, Function, and Mechanisms

TL;DR: An historical perspective of the understanding of endothelial heterogeneity is provided, the scope of phenotypic diversity across the vascular tree is discussed, and the proximate and evolutionary mechanisms of endothelium heterogeneity are addressed.

Induction of Pancreatic Differentiation by Signals from Blood Vessels

TL;DR: A role for blood vessels as a source of developmental signals during pancreatic organogenesis is demonstrated and results indicate that vessels not only provide metabolic sustenance, but also provide inductive signals for organ development.

Haematopoietic stem cells and early lymphoid progenitors occupy distinct bone marrow niches

TL;DR: Assessment of the physiological sources of the chemokine CXCL12 for HSC and restricted progenitor maintenance shows that Cxcl12 was primarily expressed by perivascular stromal cells and, at lower levels, by endothelial cells, osteoblasts and some haematopoietic cells.
