Parent stem cells can serve as niches for their own daughter cells
Stem cells integrate inputs from multiple sources. Stem cell niches provide signals that promote stem cell maintenance1-2, while differentiated daughter cells are known to provide feedback signals to regulate stem cell replication and differentiation3-6. Recently, stem cells have been shown to regulate themselves using an autocrine mechanism7. The existence of a “stem cell niche” was first post...
متن کاملStem cells and their niches.
A constellation of intrinsic and extrinsic cellular mechanisms regulates the balance of self-renewal and differentiation in all stem cells. Stem cells, their progeny, and elements of their microenvironment make up an anatomical structure that coordinates normal homeostatic production of functional mature cells. Here we discuss the stem cell niche concept, highlight recent progress, and identify...
متن کاملPrecancerous Stem Cells Can Serve As Tumor Vasculogenic Progenitors
Tumor neo-vascularization is critical for tumor growth, invasion and metastasis, which has been considered to be mediated by a mechanism of angiogenesis. However, histopathological studies have suggested that tumor cells might be the progenitor for tumor vasculature. Recently, we have reported that the precancerous stem cells (pCSCs) representing the early stage of developing cancer stem cells ...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cells as a Feeder Layer Can Prevent Apoptosis of Expanded Hematopoietic Stem Cells Derived from Cord Blood
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) has been used for transplantation in the treatment of hematologic disorders as a source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Because of insufficient number of cord blood CD34+ cells, the expansion of these cells seems to be important for clinical application. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), playing an important role in HSCs maintenance, were used as feeder layer. Apo...
متن کاملAging stem cells and their niches: possibilities for regenerative medicine
In mammalian tissues, aging typically is accompanied by a progressive loss of homeostasis and impairment of regenerative potential. This association argues for a particular focus on changes that occur in the body’s stem and progenitor cells with age because it is the primary role of these cells to maintain and regenerate tissue function throughout life. 1)Hematopoietic stem cells Within adult t...
