“Small Stem Cells” in Adult Tissues: Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells (VSELs) Stand Up!
This review summarizes information regarding the rare population of very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) that has been identified in adult tissues, emphasizing both their unique morphological features and potential biological significance. We focus on their pluripotent nature and expression of markers characteristic for embryonic stem cells (ESCs), epiblast (EP)SCs, and primordial germ ...
متن کاملCirculating Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells in Cardiovascular Disease
Very small embryonic-like cells (VSELs) are a population of stem cells residing in the bone marrow (BM) and several organs, which undergo mobilization into peripheral blood (PB) following acute myocardial infarction and stroke. These cells express markers of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), such as Oct-4, Nanog, and SSEA-1, as well as early cardiac, endothelial, and neural tissue developmental ma...
متن کاملVery Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells: Implications in Reproductive Biology
The most primitive germ cells in adult mammalian testis are the spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) whereas primordial follicles (PFs) are considered the fundamental functional unit in ovary. However, this central dogma has recently been modified with the identification of a novel population of very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) in the adult mammalian gonads. These stem cells are more pr...
متن کاملintravenous transplantation of very small embryonic like stem cells in treatment of diabetes mellitus
background: diabetes mellitus (dm), simply known as diabetes, refers to a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. in this study, the feasibility and safety of intravenous transplantation of very small embryonic like stem cells (vsels) were investigated for diabetes repair, and finally the migration and distribution of these cells in hosts ...
متن کاملVery small embryonic-like stem cells are the elusive mouse endometrial stem cells- a pilot study
BACKGROUND Endometrium undergoes dramatic growth, breakdown and regeneration throughout reproductive period in mammals. Stem cells have been implicated in the process however their origin, nature, anatomical localization and characterization still remain obscure. Classical concept of presence of stem cells in the basal layer of endometrium was recently challenged when side population and label ...
