Bone-marrow-derived multipotent progenitor stromal cells — or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) — are the common predecessors of cells of the mesenchymal lineage, such as bone, cartilage and fat ...

Blood stem cells (hematopoietic cells) reside in bone marrow and continuously produce a variety of blood and immune system cells. Mesenchymal stem cells are the source of new bone, cartilage ...

One of the most exciting opportunities is the availability of allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies. MSCs have shown tremendous promise in both treatment and prevention ...

Their key finding was the mechanism by which a normal cell type, mesenchymal stem cells, in the bone marrow supports the cancer cells. "We discovered that the breast cancer cells require direct ...

A new study in the peer-reviewed journal Stem Cells and Development highlights the potential of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a therapeutic strategy for high-dose ...

A stem cell transplant can be a good treatment for multiple myeloma. A successful transplant gives someone with multiple myeloma new, healthy bone marrow. It replaces the bone marrow harmed by myeloma ...

A multidisciplinary clinical team led by Professor Bernat Soria from the Institute of Bioengineering at the Miguel Hernández ...

Human hair can be really tricky to grow. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia or another form of hair ...

leverages cell culture methods to induce autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells to secrete high levels of neurotrophic factors, modulate neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative ...

Jeff Auletta, MD, discussed the ACCESS trial and explained that mismatched unrelated donor transplants can be a viable option ...

The best source is the five-day-old embryo. Adult stem cells will differentiate into a narrower range of cell types. Bone marrow transplants are an example of adult stem cell transplant.
