Cytonemes coordinate asymmetric signaling and organization in the Drosophila muscle progenitor niche
Asymmetric signaling and organization in the stem cell niche determine cell fates. Here the authors show that polarized contact-dependent signaling through specialized cytonemes forms the basis of niche-specific asymmetric signaling and stem cell ...

MicroRNA MIR396 regulates the switch between stem cells and transit-amplifying cells in arabidopsis roots [PDF]
To ensure an adequate organ mass, the daughters of stem cells progress through a transit-amplifying phase displaying rapid cell division cycles before differentiating.

Cancer stem cell and niche [PDF]
Recent research on cancer has generated a new model for cancer growth-cancer stem cell model. This model can explain the inefficiency of conventional therapy. Tumor tissue, like normal tissue, is continuously repopulated from pools of self-renewing stem cells growing in a "niche", which is made up of a specialized vascular bed of endothelial cells ...

Lack of correlation of stem cell markers in breast cancer stem cells [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Various markers are used to identify the unique sub-population of breast cancer cells with stem cell properties. Whether these markers are expressed in all breast cancers, identify the same population of cells, or equate to therapeutic ...

Tenascins are extracellular matrix proteins with distinct spatial and temporal expression during development, tissue homeostasis and disease. Based on their expression patterns and knockout phenotypes an important role of tenascins in tissue formation, cell adhesion modulation, regulation of proliferation and differentiation has been demonstrated.

Laminin is the ECM niche for trophoblast stem cells
Laminin functions as an ECM niche factor for trophoblast stem cells and secures trophoblast stem cell expansion through its interactions with integrin. The niche is a specialized microenvironment for tissue stem cells in vivo. It has long been emphasized

Vascular signalling mediated by ZWILLE potentiates WUSCHEL function during shoot meristem stem cell development in the Arabidopsis embryo [PDF]
Stem cells are maintained in an undifferentiated state by signals from their microenvironment, the stem cell niche. Despite its central role for organogenesis throughout the plant's life, little is known about how niche development is regulated in the ...

Hematopoietic stem cell niches [PDF]
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) reside at the apex of the hematopoietic hierarchy, with self-renewal and differentiation potential, and are widely used in clinic. Studies in the past few decades have confirmed that the functional characteristics of HSC are not only controlled by intrinsic factors, but also supported and nourished by extrinsic ...

Genetic reporter analysis reveals an expandable reservoir of OCT4+ cells in adult skin [PDF]
The transcription factor Oct4 (Pou5f1) is a critical regulator of pluripotency in embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. Therefore, Oct4 expression might identify somatic stem cell populations with inherent multipotent potential or a propensity ...

Stem cell niche: Dynamic neighbor of stem cells
Stem cell niche is a specialized and dynamic microenvironment around the stem cells which plays a critical role in maintaining the stemness properties of stem cells. Over the years, advancement in the research activity has revealed the various important aspects of stem cell niche including cell-cell interaction, cell-extracellular matrix interaction, a
