Multipotent adult stem cells
Catherine Verfaillie et al., have filed a patent for a stem cell found in the bone marrow of adults that can develop into every single tissue type in the body. It was thought until now that only embryonic stem cells were able to do this, but experiments detailed in the patent show that the cells, dubbed multipotent adult progenitor cells (MACPs) have the potential to do this. (Patent WO0111011,...
متن کاملP-25: Characterization of Sheep Ovarian Multipotent Theca Stem Cells
Background Theca cells play important roles during folliculogenesis. They synthesize androgens, provide crosstalk with granulosa cells and oocytes during development, and provide structural support of the growing follicle to produce a mature and fertilizable oocyte. In children patients who are going to be ovariectomy, follicogenesis is at early stage and thus the follicles need to be mature in...
متن کاملThe Adult Human Brain Harbors Multipotent Perivascular Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Blood vessels and adjacent cells form perivascular stem cell niches in adult tissues. In this perivascular niche, a stem cell with mesenchymal characteristics was recently identified in some adult somatic tissues. These cells are pericytes that line the microvasculature, express mesenchymal markers and differentiate into mesodermal lineages but might even have the capacity to generate tissue-sp...
متن کاملMultipotent to Pluripotent Properties of Adult Stem Cells
Stem cells have captured the attention of both researchers and the public alike because of the promise of tissue regeneration, drug screening, and organogenesis. Stem cells are broadly classified as embryonic or adult with differentiation capacities ranging from pluripotent and multipotent to unipotent. In general, pluripotent stem cells are ascribed to cells derived from the inner cell mass of...
متن کاملExpansion of Multipotent Stem Cells from the Adult Human Brain
The discovery of stem cells in the adult human brain has revealed new possible scenarios for treatment of the sick or injured brain. Both clinical use of and preclinical research on human adult neural stem cells have, however, been seriously hampered by the fact that it has been impossible to passage these cells more than a very few times and with little expansion of cell numbers. Having explor...
