Gap Junction–Mediated Transport of Metabolites Between Stem Cells and Vascular Endothelial Cells
We have previously demonstrated that small molecular transfer, such as glucose, between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and vascular endothelial cells via gap junctions constitutes an important mechanism of stem cell ...

An updated view on the differentiation of stem cells into endothelial cells [PDF]
Endothelial cells form the internal barrier between circulating blood and the vessel wall. They regulate arterial activity and mediate pathological reactions to vascular injuries such as atherosclerosis and balloon angioplasty. The development and differentiation of endothelial cells is a complex and coordinated process involving multiple levels of ...

Significance Human PSC-derived iBMECs have been generated to study disease mechanisms and drug development for neurological disorders. However, their full transcriptomic characterization is unclear, which could result in inaccurate physiological studies ...

Endothelial and perivascular cells maintain haematopoietic stem cells [PDF]
Several cell types have been proposed to create niches for haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, the expression patterns of HSC maintenance factors have not been systematically studied and no such factor has been conditionally deleted from any candidate niche cell. Thus, the cellular sources of these factors are undetermined. Stem cell factor (SCF;

MicroRNA regulation of endothelial homeostasis and commitment—implications for vascular regeneration strategies using stem cell therapies [PDF]
Human embryonic (hESC) and induced pluripotent (hiPSC) stem cells have broad therapeutic potential in the treatment of a range of diseases, including those of the vascular system.

Application of vascular endothelial cells in stem cell medicine
Stem cell medicine is gaining momentum in the development of therapy for various end-stage diseases. The search for new seed cells and exploration of their application prospects are topics of interest in stem cell medicine. In recent years, vascular endothelial cells (VECs) have attracted wide attention from scholars.

PDGFD switches on stem cell endothelial commitment
AbstractThe critical factors regulating stem cell endothelial commitment and renewal remain not well understood. Here, using loss- and gain-of-function assays together with bioinformatic analysis and multiple model systems, we show that PDGFD is an essential factor that switches on endothelial commitment of embryonic stem cells (ESCs).

Sphingosine-1-phosphate promotes the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells into endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expressing endothelial-like cells. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Adipose tissue provides a readily available source of autologous stem cells. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) have been proposed as a source for endothelial cell substitutes for lining the luminal surface of tissue engineered bypass grafts ...

Persistence of recipient-type endothelium after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Background The possibility that allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation performed across the ABO blood group-barrier is associated with an increase of graft-versus-host disease, in particular endothelial damage, has not been elucidated so far.

Stem cell factor is selectively secreted by arterial endothelial cells in bone marrow
Endothelial cells (ECs) contribute to haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance in bone marrow, but the differential contributions of EC subtypes remain unknown, owing to the lack of methods to separate with high purity arterial endothelial cells (AECs)
