Mammalian heart renewal by pre-existing cardiomyocytes

TL;DR: It is found that cell cycle activity during normal ageing and after injury led to polyploidy and multinucleation, but also to new diploid, mononucleate cardiomyocytes.

P2959 Senescence and death of primitive cells and myocytes leads to premature cardiac ageing and heart failure

C Chimenti
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared endomyocardial biopsies from 19 old patients with a dilated myopathy with specimens from 7 individuals of similar age and normal ventricular function, and found that cell death markedly increased and occurred only in cells expressing p16INK4a that had significant telomeric shortening.
Journal Article

C-kit-positive cardiac stem cells and myocardial regeneration.

TL;DR: Two distinct subpopulations of endogenous cardiac stem cells (CSCs) are identified in the adult heart; myogenic and vasculogenic CSCs, which are characterized by the presence of c-kit receptor, reside in the myocyte niche surrounded by matured cardiomyocytes, whereas vasculogens, which express c-Kit as well as KDR, are stored in the vascular niche found in the vessel wall.

Minimal criteria for defining multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells. The International Society for Cellular Therapy position statement

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.

Neurogenesis in the adult human hippocampus

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that new neurons, as defined by these markers, are generated from dividing progenitor cells in the dentate gyrus of adult humans, indicating that the human hippocampus retains its ability to generate neurons throughout life.

Adult Cardiac Stem Cells Are Multipotent and Support Myocardial Regeneration

TL;DR: The existence of Lin(-) c-kit(POS) cells with the properties of cardiac stem cells, which are self-renewing, clonogenic, and multipotent, giving rise to myocytes, smooth muscle, and endothelial cells are reported.

Evidence for cardiomyocyte renewal in humans

TL;DR: The capacity to generate cardiomyocytes in the adult human heart suggests that it may be rational to work toward the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at stimulating this process in cardiac pathologies.

The relationship between the spleen colony-forming cell and the haemopoietic stem cell

Raymond Schofield
- 01 Jan 1978 - 
TL;DR: Several experimental findings that are inconsistent with the view that the spleen colony-forming cell (CFU-S) is the primary haemopoietic stem cell are reviewed and a hypothesis is proposed in which the stem cell is seen in association with other cells which determine its behaviour.
