Multipotent adult stem cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Regenerative Potential of Endometrial Stem Cells: A Mini Review
Recent findings in stem cell biology have opened a new window in regenerative medicine. The endometrium possesses mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) called endometrial stem cells (EnSCs) having specific regenerative properties linked to adult stem cells. They contribute in tissue remodeling and engineering and were shown to have immuno-modulating effects. Many clinical trials were undertaken to asce...
متن کاملMultipotent adult progenitor cells on an allograft scaffold facilitate the bone repair process
Multipotent adult progenitor cells are a recently described population of stem cells derived from the bone marrow stroma. Research has demonstrated the potential of multipotent adult progenitor cells for treating ischemic injury and cardiovascular repair; however, understanding of multipotent adult progenitor cells in orthopedic applications remains limited. In this study, we evaluate the osteo...

Stem cells are a good alternative for regenerative medicine because of their characteristics such as self-renewal and differentiation potential. They are classified into different types of stem cells including embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, multipotent stem cells, and ultimately uni-potent stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells extracted from adult tissues. Due to the lack of...
متن کاملGeneration of different fates from multipotent muscle stem cells.
Although neuronal and mesenchymal stem cells exhibit multipotentiality, this property has not previously been demonstrated for muscle stem cells. We now show that muscle satellite cells of adult mice are able to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes and myotubes. Undifferentiated muscle progenitor cells derived from a single satellite cell co-expressed multiple determination genes includin...
متن کاملMultipotent stem cells are effectively collected from adult human cheek skin.
Skin-derived precursor (SKP) cells are a valuable resource for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, because they represent multipotent stem cells that differentiate into neural and mesodermal progenies. Previous studies suggest that the stem cell pool decreases with age. Here, we show that human multipotent SKP cells can be efficiently collected from adult cheek/chin skin, even in aged...
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...
