Adult Stem Cells: Adult Skeletal Muscle Stem Cells
2013Maintenance, repair and regeneration of adult skeletal muscle are mediated by stem or precursor cells within the muscle. In addition to the satellite cell, which is the archetypal muscle stem cell, there are other stem cells within skeletal muscle that can contribute to muscle regeneration under experimental conditions.

Stem cells are responsible for providing a source of differentiated cells in adult tissues that undergo renewal or repair. Considerable progress has been made recently in the identification and characterization of stem cells in adults. They have been the focus of intense interest because of their potential therapeutic use in restoring form and function

Adult Stem and Progenitor Cells
2009The discovery of adult stem cells in most adult tissues is the basis of a number of clinical studies that are carried out, with therapeutic use of hematopoietic stem cells as a prime example. Intense scientific debate is still ongoing as to whether adult stem cells may have a greater plasticity than previously thought. Although cells with some features

Stem cells can be either totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent or unipotent. Totipotent cells have the capability to produce all cell types of the developing organism, including both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues. The Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) are the first defined adult stem cells (ASC) that give rise to all blood cells and immune system ...

Characteristics of Adult Stem Cells
2012Stem cells are characterized by their unlimited ability to divide specifically; a stem cell is capable of making an immense number of copies of itself, maintaining the same characteristics. Moreover, these cells are able to generate several of the cell lineages which make up the body, including cells from the heart, liver, kidney, neurons, and muscles.

Adult Pituitary Stem Cells [PDF]
, 2013 Underlying mechanisms leading to pituitary plasticity by which the gland adapts the number of hormone-producing cell to the continuously changing physiological requirements are still poorly understood. Adult stem cells were shown to direct homeostatic cell maintenance, regeneration, and functional plasticity in several organs and tissues. Only recently

Therapeutic potential of adult stem cells
European Journal of Cancer, 2006The aim of cell-based therapies is to replace or repair damaged tissues and organs. A diverse number of disorders are amenable to this approach, including haematopoietic, neurological and cardiovascular diseases, as well as bone defects and diabetes.

Adult Stem Cells in the Human Testis
Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2013The primary function of the mammalian testis is the production of both gametes and hormones over a reproductive lifespan. This production of gametes proceeds in the seminiferous tubules and is supported by a stem cell population, the spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs).

Adult stem cell transplants for spinal cord injury repair: current state in preclinical research.
Current Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2011Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a traumatic disorder resulting in a functional deficit that usually leads to severe and permanent paralysis. After the initial insult to the spinal cord, additional structure and function are lost through an active and complex

Heterogeneity of Adult Cardiac Stem Cells
2019Cardiac biology and heart regeneration have been intensively investigated and debated in the last 15 years. Nowadays, the well-established and old dogma that the adult heart lacks of any myocyte-regenerative capacity has been firmly overturned by the evidence of cardiomyocyte renewal throughout the mammalian life as part of normal organ cell ...
