The recently discovered capacity of bone marrow cells (BMCs) to contribute to injury-induced skeletal muscle regeneration has brought new possibilities in the treatment of skeletal muscle diseases. However, a suitable method of BMC transplantation usable for such therapy has to be established. In this work, recipient mice were intramus...

BACKGROUND Intracoronary transfer of autologous bone marrow cells (BMCs) promotes recovery of left ventricular systolic function in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Although the mechanisms of this effect remain to be established, homing of BMCs into the infarcted myocardium is probably a critical early event. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined BMC biodistribution after therapeutic ap...

Targeting of proteins to bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) is mediated by an 18-amino-acid peptide sequence. Herein, we report the solution structure of the N-terminal targeting peptide (P18) of PduP, the aldehyde dehydrogenase associated with the 1,2-propanediol utilization metabolosome from Citrobacter freundii. The solution structure reveals the peptide to have a well-defined helical confor...

Cell therapy has been shown to be useful in treating some patients with acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and ischemic limbs.1–7 In harvesting, storing, or injecting the bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells (BMCs), an anticoagulant, such as heparin, is often added to prevent cell clumping. In this issue of Circulation Research, Drs Stephanie Dimmeler, Andreas Zeiher, and t...

BACKGROUND Despite ongoing clinical trials, the optimal time for delivery of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMCs) after myocardial infarction is unclear. We compared the viability and effects of transplanted BMCs on cardiac function in the acute and subacute inflammatory phases of myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS The time course of acute inflammatory cell infiltration was quantified...

Recently, parathyroid hormone (PTH) was shown to support survival of progenitor cells in bone marrow. The release of progenitor cells occurs in physiological and pathological conditions and was shown to contribute to neovascularization in tumors and ischemic tissues. In the present study we sought to investigate prospectively the effect of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) on mobilization of b...

BACKGROUND Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome with unknown etiology and a wide spectrum of symptoms such as allodynia, debilitating fatigue, joint stiffness and migraine. Recent studies have shown some evidences demonstrating that oxidative stress is associated to clinical symptoms in FM of fibromyalgia. We examined oxidative stress and bioenergetic status in blood mononuclear cells (...

Cardiomyocyte apoptosis is an important contributor to the progressive cardiac dysfunction that culminates in congestive heart failure. Bone marrow cells (BMCs) restore cardiac function following ischaemia, and transplanted BMCs have been reported to fuse with cells of diverse tissues. We previously demonstrated that the myogenic conversion of bone marrow stromal cells increased nearly twofold ...
