- Furthermore, the scientists managed to dramatically increase the proportion of stem cells capable of migrating to the marrow. (weizmann.ac.il)
- The research was conducted in immunodeficient mice transplanted with human stem cells. (weizmann.ac.il)
- The Weizmann Institute scientists found that only human stem cells equipped with a certain type of receptor, called CXCR4, migrated from the circulation to the bone marrow of experimental mice. (weizmann.ac.il)
- Thanks to this receptor, the cells were able to migrate to an "attracting" signaling molecule called SDF-1, which is released by bone marrow cells. (weizmann.ac.il)
- It is this molecular "attractor" which guides human stem cells through the blood vessel walls into the marrow cavities. (weizmann.ac.il)
- similarly, stem cells will migrate to the bone marrow only if they display a specific receptor on their surface that allows them to pick up the signals from marrow cells. (weizmann.ac.il)
- Stem cell migration illustration available in color) The researchers found, however, that only a small number of human stem cells display the CXCR4 receptor on their surface, a fact that explains why so few stem cells are successfully transplanted - patients typically wind up with only 10% of the normal number of these cells. (weizmann.ac.il)
- According to this theory, stem cells that entered the marrow cavity "disappeared" because, instead of proliferating, they quickly matured into the various types of blood cells. (weizmann.ac.il)
- The new study, however, suggests that stem cells may also "disappear" because they lack the CXCR4 receptor and therefore fail to migrate to the recipient's marrow. (weizmann.ac.il)
