Stem cells have two features: the ability to differentiate along different lineages and the ability of self-renewal. Two major types of stem cells have been described, namely, embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are obtained from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst and are associated with tumorigenesis, and the use ...

Human mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]
AbstractMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted great interest for cell therapy and tissue regeneration due to their self‐renewal capacity, multipotency and potent immunomodulatory effects on immune cells. However, heterogeneity of MSCs has become a prominent obstacle to limit their translation into practice, as cells from different tissue sources

Mesenchymal stem cells and their microenvironment
AbstractMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), coming from a wide range of sources, have multi-directional differentiation ability. MSCs play vital roles in immunomodulation, hematopoiesis and tissue repair. The microenvironment of cells often refers to the intercellular matrix, other cells, cytokines and humoral components.

Within the bone marrow stroma there exists a subset of nonhematopoietic cells referred to as mesenchymal stem or mesenchymal progenitor cells. These cells can be ex vivo expanded and induced, either in vitro or in vivo, to terminally differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes, tenocytes, myotubes, neural cells, and hematopoietic ...

Homing of Mesenchymal Stem Cells [PDF]
SUMMARY: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are primarily fibroblast-like cells. Yet, once studied under conditions of shear stress when flowing along endothelial cells in vitro or in blood vessels, as well as in classic migration assays such as chemotaxis assays, MSCs have recently been found to function similarly to leukocytes in many ways.

Isolation and Characterization of Feline Wharton’s Jelly-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Wharton’s jelly is a well-known mesenchymal stem cell source in many species, including humans. However, there have been no reports confirming the presence of mesenchymal stem cells in Wharton’s jelly in cats.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells have immense potential in stem cell-based therapies, however there is a pre-requisite to develop a curative cell dose. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells are promising mainly due to their potential abundance,

Background Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells support proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro. Since these cells constitute a rare subset of bone marrow cells, mesenchymal stem cell preparations for clinical purposes ...
