  • ISBN : 9783540675693
  • Pages : 240 pages

Download or read book Lymphoid Organogenesis written by Fritz Melchers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-09-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been clear for a long time that after transplantation of a lymphoid organ, hematopoietic stem cells can regenerate the compartments of the organ, provided that the rest of its architecture - the strome, the epithelia and the vessels - is intact. Ahead lies the even greater challenge to assemble also these other architectural elements of a lymphoid organ by transplanting stem cells. The workshop on lymphoid organogenesis was convened to review current knowledge of and experimental skills involved in this grand project to build a lymphoid organ from its individual cellular components.

Book Cultivation of Bone Marrow Derived Progenitor Cells on Biomaterials

Download or read book Cultivation of Bone Marrow Derived Progenitor Cells on Biomaterials written by Robert W. Carruth and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Progenitor cells have a considerable regenerative potential for damaged tissues. By utilizing these cells, vasculature or implant biocompatibility can be promoted. In this study we optimized the isolation protocol of bone marrow CD 117+ (ckit) progenitor cells. We differentiated CD1 17+ cells along an endothelial phenotype and tested their compatibility with various biomaterials. Biomaterials were compared for their proliferative properties using Laser Scanning Cytometry. We found the best endothelial progenitor cell growth on titanium and fibronectin coated porous aluminum oxide. These progenitor cell covered materials can be used to improve the function of future drug delivery systems or biosensors.

Book Genetic Engineering of Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Download or read book Genetic Engineering of Mesenchymal Stem Cells written by Jan A. Nolta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-08-29 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MSC (mesenchymal stem cells) have been reported to initiate revascularization after injury, to facilitate engraftment of blood-forming stem cells, and to reduce the incidence of graft-vs. host disease through their immune-suppressive qualities. Finally, bone marrow-derived MSC have been reported to home to areas of solid tumor revascularization, and thus may be used as delivery vehicles to target ablative agents into dividing tumor cells. Recently the characteristics of human MSC from adipose (fat) tissue have also been identified. The possibility of repairing tissues, speeding stem cell engraftment, and targeting solid tumors for specific killing, using MSC easily harvested from bone marrow, or better yet, from unwanted fat tissue, holds broad appeal, and is an intriguing possibility that could have dramatic effect on health care. This book has information on how to isolate, grow, and characterize MSC from marrow and fat, and gives important insight into how these cells may be used for gene delivery and cellular therapies in the future. Updates on emerging clinical trials are given.

Book In Vitro Study of Bone Marrow Derived Progenitor Cells in Liver like Microenvironments

Download or read book In Vitro Study of Bone Marrow Derived Progenitor Cells in Liver like Microenvironments written by Alireza Khademhosseini and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published observations of the 'in vivo' differentiation of bone marrow (BM) derived cells into hepatocytes led us to study the mechanisms that regulate this differentiation 'in vitro'. Phenotypically defined (Lin-) BM populations were cultured in microenvironments that mimic parenchymal and nonparenchymal liver components. A significant difference in the spectrum of cells generated from BM under various conditions was observed. Specifically, enriched BM cells gave rise to endoderm-like cells in co-culture with fibroblasts. Lin- cells were shown to generate liver-like cells that expressed CK8 and albumin upon exposure to high HGF-concentrations. Also, individual hematopoietic stem cells (HSC - c-kit+ Lin - Sca-1+) were shown to give rise to albumin-secreting cells, in presence of HGF while the addition of hematopoietic cytokines decreased the frequency of hepatic progeny. These results suggest that HGF is an important regulator of HSC, which may act in inducing HSC to give rise to hematopoietic or hepatic progeny.

Book Bone Marrow Niche

    Book Details:
  • Author : Takashi Nagasawa
  • Publisher : Springer Nature
  • Release : 2021-12-01
  • ISBN : 3030860167
  • Pages : 138 pages

Download or read book Bone Marrow Niche written by Takashi Nagasawa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume summarizes recent advances in research on mesenchymal cell populations in the bone marrow. It explores how mesenchymal cells create niches for immune cells in extramedullary organs and it discusses new concepts of lympho-hematopoietic microenvironments. Readers are introduced to the fundamentals of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differentiation to all types of blood cells, including immune cells, in the bone marrow. The book highlights how this process is supported and regulated by the individual microenvironments of stem cells, termed niches. The identity of HSC niches has been subject to longstanding debates. Recent studies identified the population of mesenchymal stem cells as the major cellular component of niches, for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and their candidate developmental origin. Furthermore, candidate cellular niches for immune cells in lymph nodes and adipose and connective tissues were identified. The authors of this volume focus on shared features between those and HSPC niche cells in the bone marrow. Covering latest research results, this book serves as fascinating read for researchers and clinicians in hematology and immunology.
