The researchers focused on a type of adult stem cell known as a mesenchymal stem cell, or MSC. These cells are found in bone marrow and other tissues and are known for their ability to develop ...

The uniqueness of space is being utilised to see if stem cells behave differently in order to advance medicine on Earth.

The two growth factors – Kitl and Igf1 – are produced by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) that surround the stem cells in the bone marrow microenvironment. By profiling the RNA transcriptome in ...

The team discovered that the IFITM5 mutation acts at the level of bone stem cells, altering the normal process that leads to bone formation. “Bone stem cells lead the way in the formation of the ...

Their findings and new technique are detailed in Nature Biomedical Engineering in an article titled, “ Mesenchymal stromal cells with chimaeric antigen receptors for enhanced immunosuppression.” ...

Variation in Mesenchymal KITL/SCF and IGF1 Expression at Middle Age Underlies Steady-State Hematopoietic Stem Cell Aging. Blood Journal, 2024; DOI: 10.1182/blood.2024024275 ...

Bone marrow is the machinery responsible for making nearly all of the body’s blood cells. Stem cells in the marrow give rise to new blood cells. But if the bone marrow malfunctions, those stem ...

"Before Ossium, the bone marrow from these donors — the life-saving stem cells that are present in the vertebral bodies of these donors — was not being used," Caldwell said.
