Intracellular role of IL-6 in mesenchymal stromal cell immunosuppression and proliferation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Interleukin (IL)-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the regulation of hematological and immune responses. IL-6 is secreted chiefly by stromal cells, but little is known about its precise role in the homeostasis of human mesenchymal stromal cells ...

Stem cells, cancer, and cancer stem cells [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2001
Stem cell biology has come of age. Unequivocal proof that stem cells exist in the haematopoietic system has given way to the prospective isolation of several tissue-specific stem and progenitor cells, the initial delineation of their properties and expressed genetic programmes, and the beginnings of their utility in regenerative medicine.

Regulation of stem cell dynamics through volume exclusion [PDF]

open access: yesGarc\'ia-Tejera R, SchumacherL, Grima R. 2022 Regulation of stem cell dynamics through volume exclusion. Proc.R.Soc.A478: 20220376, 2022
Maintenance and regeneration of adult tissues rely on the self-renewal of stem cells. Regeneration without over-proliferation requires precise regulation of the stem cell proliferation and differentiation rates. The nature of such regulatory mechanisms in different tissues, and how to incorporate them in models of stem cell population dynamics, is ...

Prostate Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2018
Stem/progenitor cells play central roles in processes of organogenesis and tissue maintenance, whereas cancer stem cells (CSCs) are thought to drive tumor malignancy. Here, we review recent progress in the identification and analysis of normal prostate stem/progenitor cells as well as putative CSCs in both genetically engineered mouse models as well as

Hypoxia Signaling Pathway in Stem Cell Regulation: Good and Evil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose of Review: This review summarizes the role of hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) in the regulation of stem cell biology, specifically focusing on maintenance, differentiation, and stress responses in the context of several stem cell ...

Stem Cells and Stem Cell Therapy

open access: yesMedEdPORTAL, 2013
Abstract This team-based learning (TBL) exercise presents hematopoietic malignancies of myeloid origin and invites users to consider appropriate methods of treatment utilizing stem cell therapy. The 100-minute session is structured in traditional TBL format, and all components—including the learning objectives, reading assignments, individual Readiness

PTEN, Stem Cells, and Cancer Stem Cells [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2009
Like normal stem cells, "cancer stem cells" have the capacity for indefinite proliferation and generation of new cancerous tissues through self-renewal and differentiation. Among the major intracellular signaling pathways, WNT, SHH, and NOTCH are known to be important in regulating normal stem cell activities, and their alterations are associated with ...
