Placental growth factor expression is required for bone marrow endothelial cell support of primitive murine hematopoietic cells. [PDF]
Two distinct microenvironmental niches that regulate hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell physiology in the adult bone marrow have been proposed; the endosteal and the vascular niche.

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;

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 ...

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).

Differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into endothelial cells [PDF]
Methods to isolate endothelial cells from murine and human pluripotent stem cells continue to evolve and increasingly diverse endothelial cell populations have been generated. This review provides an update of key articles published within the past year that report on some of those advances.Cooperative interactions among microRNA (miRNA), transcription

Protein changes associated with embryonic stem cell differentiation to vascular smooth muscle cells [PDF]
PhDEmbryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate into many different cell lines, including vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The aim of this project is to characterize protein changes during this differentiation process.

Stem and endothelial progenitor cells in erection biology [PDF]
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the consistent inability to obtain or maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual relations. The past 20 years of basic science research on erection physiology has been devoted to investigating the pathogenesis of ED and has led to the conclusion that ED is predominately a disease of vascular origin with ...

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.

Aging impairs the ability of vascular endothelial stem cells to generate endothelial cells in mice
AbstractTissue-resident vascular endothelial stem cells (VESCs), marked by expression of CD157, possess long-term repopulating potential and contribute to vascular regeneration and homeostasis in mice. Stem cell exhaustion is regarded as one of the hallmarks of aging and is being extensively studied in several types of tissue-resident stem cells ...

Insulin-like growth factors promote vasculogenesis in embryonic stem cells. [PDF]
The ability of embryonic stem cells to differentiate into endothelium and form functional blood vessels has been well established and can potentially be harnessed for therapeutic angiogenesis.
