TLDR
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.

Mesenchymal stem cells in health and disease

TL;DR: The targets and mechanisms of M SC-mediated immunomodulation and the possible translation of MSCs to new therapeutic approaches are discussed.

Mesenchymal and haematopoietic stem cells form a unique bone marrow niche

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), identified using nestin expression, constitute an essential HSC niche component and are indicative of a unique niche in the bone marrow made of heterotypic stem-cell pairs.

The bone marrow niche for haematopoietic stem cells

TL;DR: The haematopoietic stem cell niche remains incompletely defined and beset by competing models, and outstanding questions concern the cellular complexity of the niche, the role of the endosteum and functional heterogeneity among perivascular microenvironments.

Stem Cells and Niches: Mechanisms That Promote Stem Cell Maintenance throughout Life

TL;DR: Niches are local tissue microenvironments that maintain and regulate stem cells that are key to the regulation of homeostasis and likely contribute to aging and tumorigenesis when altered during adulthood.

Stromal mechanisms of bone marrow: cloning in vitro and retransplantation in vivo.

TL;DR: The effect of local differentiation factors is manifested, in particular, during formation of hemopoietic colonies in irradiated recipient-mice, and the development of myeloid precursors is inhibited while they are still included in the erythroid colonies whereas theDevelopment of erystroid precursor is suppressed in the myeloids colonies.

Association of alkaline-phosphatase-positive reticulum cells in bone marrow with granulocytic precursors.

TL;DR: It is speculated that the alkaline-phosphatase- positive reticulum cell (Al-RC) are mesenchymal stromal cells necessary for granulocytic differentiation in bone marrow.

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of Mouse TIE and TEK Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Genes and Their Expression in Hematopoietic Stem Cells

TL;DR: Characterization of two novel genes of their full-length cDNA sequences revealed that they were mouse homologues of the endothelial cell RTK genes, TIE and TEK, which shared a unique structural property of coexistent immunoglobulin-like domain, epidermal growth factor-like repeats, and fibronectin type III repeats in their extracellular domains.

Reproduction of human fibrous dysplasia of bone in immunocompromised mice by transplanted mosaics of normal and Gsalpha-mutated skeletal progenitor cells.

TL;DR: Results provide experimental evidence for the necessity of both normal and mutant cells in the development of McCune-Albright Syndrome fibrous dysplastic lesions in bone.

Handbook of stem cells

TL;DR: This work contains contributions from the world's experts in stem cell research to provide a description of the tools, methods, and experimental protocols needed to study and characterize stem cells and progenitor populations as well as the latest information of what is known about each specific organ system.
