Cancer Stem Cells: Models and Concepts

TL;DR: The biological basis and the therapeutic implications of the stem cell model of cancer, first developed in human myeloid leukemias, is reviewed, which is today being extended to solid tumors, such as breast and brain cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Capturing and profiling adult hair follicle stem cells

TL;DR: It is shown that bulge cells in adult mice generate all epithelial cell types within the intact follicle and hair during normal hair follicle cycling and provide potential targets for the treatment of hair loss and other disorders of skin and hair.
Journal ArticleDOI

STEM CELL NICHE: Structure and Function

TL;DR: A comparative summary of the differences and commonalities of different stem cell niches in Drosophila ovary/testis and Caenorhabditis elegans distal tip as well as in mammalian bone marrow, skin/hair follicle, intestine, brain, and testis is compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

p63 Is Essential for the Proliferative Potential of Stem Cells in Stratified Epithelia

TL;DR: P63, a gene whose deletion in mice results in the catastrophic loss of all stratified epithelia, is analyzed and it is demonstrated that p63 is strongly expressed in epithelial cells with high clonogenic and proliferative capacity and that stem cells lacking p63 undergo a premature proliferative rundown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nestin expression: a property of multi-lineage progenitor cells?

TL;DR: It is shown that nestin is abundant in ES-derived progenitor cells that have the potential to develop into neuroectodermal, endodermal and mesodermal lineages and suggested that its presence in cells may indicate multi-potentiality and regenerative potential.

Multi-Organ, Multi-Lineage Engraftment by a Single Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cell

TL;DR: It is shown that rare cells that home to bone marrow can LTR primary and secondary recipients, and this finding may contribute to clinical treatment of genetic disease or tissue repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

p63 is essential for regenerative proliferation in limb, craniofacial and epithelial development

TL;DR: It is reported that mice homozygous for a disrupted p63 gene have major defects in their limb, craniofacial and epithelial development, and results indicate that p63 is critical for maintaining the progenitor-cell populations that are necessary to sustain epithelialDevelopment and morphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

p63 is a p53 homologue required for limb and epidermal morphogenesis.

TL;DR: P63 is essential for several aspects of ectodermal differentiation during embryogenesis, including hair follicles, teeth and mammary glands, which are absent in p63-deficient mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Out of Eden: Stem Cells and Their Niches

TL;DR: Both intrinsic and extrinsic signals regulate stem cell fate and some of these signals have now been identified and can be exploited in the application of stem cells to tissue replacement therapy.
