Mesenchymal stem cells: key players in cancer progression

SM Ridge, FJ Sullivan, SA Glynn - Molecular cancer, 2017 - Springer
Tumour progression is dependent on the interaction between tumour cells and cells of the
surrounding microenvironment. The tumour is a dynamic milieu consisting of various cell …

Niche heterogeneity in the bone marrow

A Birbrair, PS Frenette - Annals of the new York Academy of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
In adult mammals, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are defined by their abilities to self‐
renew and to differentiate to form all blood cell lineages. These rare multipotent cells occupy …

Updates on osteoimmunology: what's new on the cross-talk between bone and immune system

M Ponzetti, N Rucci - Frontiers in endocrinology, 2019 - frontiersin.org
The term osteoimmunology was coined many years ago to describe the research field that
deals with the cross-regulation between bone cells and the immune system. As a matter of …

Dynamic niches in the origination and differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells

LD Wang, AJ Wagers - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2011 - nature.com
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent, self-renewing progenitors that generate
all mature blood cells. HSC function is tightly controlled to maintain haematopoietic …

The endosteal 'osteoblastic'niche and its role in hematopoietic stem cell homing and mobilization

JP Levesque, FM Helwani, IG Winkler - Leukemia, 2010 - nature.com
The concept of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche was formulated in 1978, but HSC
niches remained unidentified for the following two decades largely owing to technical …

Functional inhibition of osteoblastic cells in an in vivo mouse model of myeloid leukemia

BJ Frisch, JM Ashton, L Xing… - Blood, The Journal …, 2012 - ashpublications.org
Pancytopenia is a major cause of morbidity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), yet its cause is
unclear. Normal osteoblastic cells have been shown to support hematopoiesis. To define the …

3D co-culture of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and mesenchymal stem cells in collagen scaffolds as a model of the hematopoietic niche

I Leisten, R Kramann, MSV Ferreira, M Bovi, S Neuss… - Biomaterials, 2012 - Elsevier
Here, we propose a collagen-based three-dimensional (3D) environment for hematopoietic
stem and progenitor cells (HPC) with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) derived either from …

Obesity-driven disruption of haematopoiesis and the bone marrow niche

BJ Adler, K Kaushansky, CT Rubin - Nature Reviews Endocrinology, 2014 - nature.com
Obesity markedly increases susceptibility to a range of diseases and simultaneously
undermines the viability and fate selection of haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), and thus …

Mechanisms of tumor escape from immune system: role of mesenchymal stromal cells

A Poggi, A Musso, I Dapino, MR Zocchi - Immunology letters, 2014 - Elsevier
Tumor microenvironment represents the site where the tumor tries to survive and escape
from immune system-mediated recognition. Indeed, to proliferate tumor cells can divert the …
