Nucleus pulposus phenotypic markers to determine stem cell differentiation: fact or fiction?
Progress in mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) based therapies for nucleus pulposus (NP) regeneration are hampered by a lack of understanding and consensus of the normal NP cell phenotype. Despite the recent consensus paper on NP markers, there is still a need to further validate proposed markers. This study aimed to determine whether an NP phenotypic profile could be identified within a large populat...
متن کاملFact or fiction - identifying the elusive multiple myeloma stem cell
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a debilitating disease of proliferating and malignant plasma cells that is currently incurable. The ability of monoclonal recurrence of disease suggests it might arise from a stem cell-like population capable of self-renewal. The difficulty to isolate the cancer stem-like cell in MM has introduced confusion toward this hypothesis. However, recent evidence has suggested ...
متن کاملRenal stem cells: fact or science fiction?
The kidney is widely regarded as an organ without regenerative abilities. However, in recent years this dogma has been challenged on the basis of observations of kidney recovery following acute injury, and the identification of renal populations that demonstrate stem cell characteristics in various species. It is currently speculated that the human kidney can regenerate in some contexts, but th...
متن کاملHairy cell leukemia variant: fact or fiction.
Hairy cell leukemia variant (HCL-V) is a poorly described, rare B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder typically positive for CD103 and CD11c, while lacking CD25. Splenic marginal zone lymphomas (SMZL) also have this unusual phenotype in 15% to 25% of cases, have other overlapping clinical or morphologic features, and are more common than HCL-V. The purpose of our study was to better characterize ...
متن کاملSonofusion – Fact or Fiction?
Sonoluminescence and Sonofusion phenomena may occur when vapor bubbles implode. This paper reviews the status of our understanding of the bubble dynamics involved in these interesting phenomena. In particular, the experimental and analytical evidence supporting the observed production of neutrons and tritium due to thermonuclear fusion within imploding bubble clusters is reviewed. Moreover, pot...
