SCHALM'S VETERINARY HEMATOLOGY An updated guide to veterinary hematology with
expanded coverage on a variety of topics The revised seventh edition of Schalm's Veterinary …

CD44 is an adhesion molecule that varies in size due to glycosylation and insertion of so-
called variant exon products. The CD44 standard isoform (CD44s) is highly expressed in …

Preadipocytes are present throughout adult life in adipose tissues and can proliferate and
differentiate into mature adipocytes according to the energy balance. An increasing number …

Trafficking of human CD34+ stem/progenitor cells (HSCs/HPCs) is regulated by
chemokines, cytokines, proteolytic enzymes, and adhesion molecules. We report that the …

In recent years, the potential of stem cell research for tissue engineering-based therapies
and regenerative medicine clinical applications has become well established. In 2006 …

Stem cells are characterized by their dual ability to reproduce themselves (self‐renew) and
specialize (differentiate), yielding a plethora of daughter cells that maintain and regenerate …

In postnatal muscle, skeletal muscle precursors (myoblasts) can be derived from satellite
cells (reserve cells located on the surface of mature myofibers) or from cells lying beyond the …

Aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are impaired in supporting hematopoiesis. The
molecular and cellular mechanisms of stem cell aging are not well defined. HSCs interact …

To measure the ability of human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), the SCID-repopulating
cell (SRC) assay has been widely used. Conventionally, human HSCs are transplanted into …

Neutrophils play a critical role in the acute inflammatory response and host-defenses
against bacterial infections. Neutropenia, a deficiency of these cells, predisposes to …
