Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs; also referred to as mesenchymal stromal cells) have
attracted much attention for their ability to regulate inflammatory processes. Their therapeutic …

Stem cells are cells specialized cell, capable of renewing themselves through cell division
and can differentiate into multi-lineage cells. These cells are categorized as embryonic stem …

Abstract The International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy (ISCT®) Mesenchymal Stromal
Cell (ISCT MSC) committee offers a position statement to clarify the nomenclature of …

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are heterogeneous and primitive cells discovered first in
the bone marrow (BM). They have putative roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis and are …

The past 15 years have witnessed tremendous progress in the molecular understanding of
osteoblasts, the main bone-forming cells in the vertebrate skeleton. In particular, all of the …

Stem cells have two features: the ability to differentiate along different lineages and the
ability of self-renewal. Two major types of stem cells have been described, namely …

Human mesenchymal stem cells are thought to be multipotent cells, which are present in
adult marrow, that can replicate as undifferentiated cells and that have the potential to …

The intermediate filament protein Nestin labels populations of stem/progenitor cells,
including self-renewing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a major constituent of the …

Dentinal repair in the postnatal organism occurs through the activity of specialized cells,
odontoblasts, that are thought to be maintained by an as yet undefined precursor population …

Two opposing descriptions of so-called mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exist at this time.
One sees MSCs as the postnatal, self-renewing, and multipotent stem cells for the skeleton …
