The Spinal Cord Neural Stem Cell Niche
The spinal cord is the caudal portion of the central nervous system (CNS) that extends from the lower part of the brain stem (the medulla) to the cauda equina. It receives several types of sensory information from the joints, muscles, organs and skin and contains the motoneurons responsible for voluntary/reflex movements and for the function of the autonomic nervous system. The spinal cord is d...
متن کاملBiomimetic interfacial interpenetrating polymer networks control neural stem cell behavior.
Highly-regulated signals surrounding stem cells, such as growth factors at specific concentrations and matrix mechanical stiffness, have been implicated in modulating stem cell proliferation and maturation. However, tight control of proliferation and lineage commitment signals is rarely achieved during growth outside the body, since the spectrum of biochemical and mechanical signals that govern...
متن کاملMimicking Neural Stem Cell Niche by Biocompatible Substrates
Neural stem cells (NSCs) participate in the maintenance, repair, and regeneration of the central nervous system. During development, the primary NSCs are distributed along the ventricular zone of the neural tube, while, in adults, NSCs are mainly restricted to the subependymal layer of the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus in the hippoca...
متن کامل3d in Vitro Model of Neural Stem Cell-vascular Niche
Neural stem cells reside in a specialized vascular microenvironment that is termed “neural stem cell niche”, Brain vessels are the most important element in the NSC niche and paly an important role in balancing NSC’s maintenance and differentiation in order to maintain tissue homeostasis. In this study, we developed reconstituted 3D in vitro neural stem cell-vascular niche that consists of extr...
متن کاملThe hematopoietic stem cell niche.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) possess the ability to self-renew and to differentiate to mature progeny along multiple different hematopoietic lineages. The function of HSCs depends upon the signals from surrounding cells found within the highly specialized microenvironment termed the hematopoietic stem cell niche. Understanding and exploiting the HSC niche is a goal of basic scientists and cl...
