TLDR
In vivo and in vitro studies have shown that CFU-F are a heterogeneous population of stem and progenitor cells and that their differentiation in vitro can be modified at the colony level, which supports the hypothesis that there are stromal stem cells present in the soft connective tissues associated with marrow and bone surfaces.Abstract:
Evidence is discussed for the hypothesis that there are stromal stem cells present in the soft connective tissues associated with marrow and bone surfaces that are able to give rise to a number of different cell lines including the osteogenic line. Fibroblastic colonies, each derived from a single colony-forming unit fibroblastic (CFU-F), are formed when marrow cells are cultured in vitro. In vivo assays of CFU-F have demonstrated that some CFU-F have a high ability for self renewal and multipotentiality whereas some have more limited potential. In vitro studies also support the hypothesis and have shown that CFU-F are a heterogeneous population of stem and progenitor cells and that their differentiation in vitro can be modified at the colony level. Factors added to the medium can activate osteogenesis in a range of multipotential and more committed precursors. Different stromal cell lines can be promoted under different culture conditions. The number and hierarchy of cell lines belonging to the stromal fibroblastic system are not yet fully elucidated and more specific markers for the different lines are required before a better understanding can be achieved.read more

Human mesenchymal stem cells modulate allogeneic immune cell responses
TL;DR: Insight is offered into the interactions between allogeneic MSCs and immune cells and mechanisms likely involved with the in vivo MSC-mediated induction of tolerance that could be therapeutic for reduction of GVHD, rejection, and modulation of inflammation.

Birth and death of bone cells: basic regulatory mechanisms and implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of osteoporosis.
TL;DR: The role and the molecular mechanism of action of regulatory molecules, such as cytokines and hormones, in osteoclast and osteoblast birth and apoptosis are reviewed to review the evidence for the contribution of changes in bone cell birth or death to the pathogenesis of the most common forms of osteoporosis.

TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that a substantial number of organ fibroblasts appear through a novel reversal in the direction of epithelial cell fate, which highlights the potential plasticity of differentiated cells in adult tissues under pathologic conditions.

Articular cartilage repair: basic science and clinical progress. A review of the current status and prospects.
TL;DR: The existence of many new and encouraging biological approaches to cartilage repair justifies the future investment of time and money in this research area, particularly given the extremely high socio-economic importance of such therapeutic strategies in the prevention and treatment of these common joint diseases and traumas.

The development of fibroblast colonies in monolayer cultures of guinea-pig bone marrow and spleen cells.
TL;DR: The linear increase in the number of colonies with increasing numbers of explanted cells and the distribution of male and female cells in mixed cultures support the view that fibroblast colonies are clones.

In vitro differentiation and calcification in a new clonal osteogenic cell line derived from newborn mouse calvaria
TL;DR: Results indicate that clonal osteogenic cell line MC3T3-E1 cells have the capacity to differentiate into osteoblasts and osteocytes and to form calcified bone tissue in vitro.

Bone marrow osteogenic stem cells: in vitro cultivation and transplantation in diffusion chambers
TL;DR: The high proliferative potential of bone marrow FCFC and their ability to serve as common precursors of bone and cartilage‐forming cells makes them probable candidates for the role of osteogenic stem cells.

TL;DR: Analysis of CFU-F proliferative status by the thymidine suicide technique indicated that this cell was noncycling in individuals with undisturbed bone marrow function and data support the conclusion that the colonies described in this study are of fibroblastic nature.

Developmental potential and dynamic behavior of hematopoietic stem cells
TL;DR: In this paper, retrovirus-mediated gene transfer was used to mark hematopoietic stem cells in vitro and have tracked the fate of these cells after their transplantation into lethally irradiated recipients.
