Circulating endocannabinoids during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: A pilot study
OBJECTIVE Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is a stressful and rigorous medical procedure involving significant emotional and immune challenges. The endocannabinoid (eCB) signaling system is involved in regulation of both the immune system and emotional reactivity, yet little is known about its function during HCT. We investigated the role of the eCB signaling system in a group of H...
متن کاملDoes Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy Help Multiple Sclerosis Patients? Report of a Pilot Study
Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with their potential to differentiate into mesodermal and non-mesodermal lineages have several immunomodulatory characteris-tics. These properties make them promising tools in cell and gene therapy. Objective: To evaluate the potential therapeutic applications of autologous MSC in improving clinical manifestations of MS patients. Methods: Ten patients w...
متن کاملOsteopontin is a hematopoietic stem cell niche component that negatively regulates stem cell pool size
Stem cells reside in a specialized niche that regulates their abundance and fate. Components of the niche have generally been defined in terms of cells and signaling pathways. We define a role for a matrix glycoprotein, osteopontin (OPN), as a constraining factor on hematopoietic stem cells within the bone marrow microenvironment. Osteoblasts that participate in the niche produce varying amount...
متن کاملNervous Activity in a Stem Cell Niche
In this issue of Cell, report a new regulatory axis for the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells that links these cells to the nervous system and bone in an unanticipated way. The new findings suggest that the nervous system, which has the inherent ability to integrate information from throughout the organism, may govern the local relationship between stem cells and their niches.
متن کاملRenal capsule as a stem cell niche.
Renal resident stem cells were previously reported within the renal tubules and papillary area. The aim of the present study was to determine whether renal capsules harbor stem cells and whether this pool can be recruited to the renal parenchyma after ischemic injury. We demonstrated the presence of label-retaining cells throughout the renal capsule, at a density of ∼10 cells/mm(2), and their c...
