Abstract Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) plays an important role as a member of
the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) in regulating the conversion of …

SARS-CoV-2 viruses are positive single-stranded RNA viruses, whose infection can be
asymptomatic or lead to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Covid-19 is a respiratory …

In this study, we demonstrate that a small population of pluripotent stem cells, termed
adipose multilineage-differentiating stress-enduring (adipose-Muse) cells, exist in adult …

BACKGROUND Both pluripotent very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) and induced
pluripotent stem (iPS) cells were reported in 2006. In 2012, a Nobel Prize was awarded for …

Evidence has accumulated that adult hematopoietic tissues and other organs contain a
population of dormant stem cells (SCs) that are more primitive than other, already restricted …

This review presents a novel view and working hypothesis about the hierarchy within the
adult bone marrow stem cell compartment and the still-intriguing question of whether adult …

Current dogma is that there exists a hematopoietic pluripotent stem cell, resident in the
marrow, which is quiescent, but with tremendous proliferative and differentiative potential …

Regenerative medicine is searching for stem cells that can be safely and efficiently
employed for regenera‑tion of damaged solid organs (eg, the heart, brain, or liver). Ideal for …

Evidence has accumulated that hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) share several
markers with the germline, a connection supported by reports that prolactin, androgens, and …

Very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) isolated from bone marrow (BM) have been
reported to be pluripotent. Given their nonembryonic source, they could replace blastocyst …
