  • Human bmMSCs were described in the late nineties as well [ 6 ] and at the same time a breakthrough study investigated the expression of typical cell surface markers and the proliferation and differentiation properties of human MSCs in more detail [ 7 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • Overview on self-renewal or differentiation of stem cells in their respective stem cell niche. (hindawi.com)
  • This process of division and differentiation is subject to regulation at many levels to control cell production. (justia.com)
  • Since the initial discovery of the self-renewing properties of stem cells in the early 1960s - pioneered by a small team of researchers at the Ontario Cancer Institute [3] - the understanding of the power and diversity of stem cells has increased rapidly. (articlecity.com)
  • In addition, my lab studies the process of developmental committment to the B cell lineages, using 7-color flow cytometry on a state-of-the-art 3 laser FACS. (umassmed.edu)
  • Here we describe the initial results of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in three children with osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disorder in which osteoblasts produce defective type I collagen, leading to osteopenia, multiple fractures, severe bony deformities and considerably shortened stature.
