  • While ER Clark first reported the observation of vascular generation in tadpoles in 1909, and Stockard described blood-vessel development and coined the term angioblast in fish embryos in 1915, it was not until 1920 that F Sabin described the formation of blood cells through the angioblast 'liquefying' within the aorta [ 1 - 3 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • They are particularly active in tissues and organs in which the lifespan of the differentiated cells is short, like blood, skin and the inner cell layer covering the intestinal cavity, as well as in the repair of skeletal muscle after exercise of injury. (pas.va)
  • Abnormalities in this process lead to a group of diseases known as myeloid malignancies, which include acute myeloid leukaemia-in which the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells-and myelodysplastic syndromes, which are caused by too few mature blood cells being produced. (elifesciences.org)
  • To address this challenge, researchers have been trying to develop reliable, lab-based methods for making the vital, blood-producing component of bone marrow: hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). (nih.gov)
  • In the second, researchers employed another approach to convert mature mouse endothelial cells, which line the inside of blood vessels, directly into self-renewing HSCs. (nih.gov)
  • Those HSCs ultimately find their way into the bone marrow, where they produce a lifetime supply of blood cells. (nih.gov)
  • What started as a series of microscopic observations in different animal model systems has since evolved into studies of gene expression and regulation, and subsequent protein-protein interactions, cell surface protein expression profiling, and functional mapping of cell fates. (biomedcentral.com)
  • HSCs are thought to be a reserve population residing in a deeply quiescent ("dormant") state that protects them from metabolic and proliferative stress. (digs-bb.de)
  • We want to elucidate how hematopoietic perturbations and stressors are resolved on a clonal level by employing genetic barcoding. (digs-bb.de)
  • These receptors allow NK cells to spare autologous normal cells and to kill cells in which MHC class I expression is down-regulated (eg, by tumor transformation or viral infection) or cells expressing non-self MHC class I alleles unable to engage these receptors (eg, allogenic transplantation settings). (ashpublications.org)
  • More research teams are accelerating the use of other types of adult stem cells, in particular neural stem cells for diseases where beneficial outcome could result from either in-lineage cell replacement or extracellular factors. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Significant advances have been made in isolating, culturing and reintroducing adult stem cells into tissues. (pas.va)
  • With this, we analyzed the phenotypes of CD34 + HSCs and showed that primitive HSCs or CD34 + CD33 - cells expressed adhesion molecules such as CD43, CD44, CD11a, CD11c, CD18, and leukocyte adhesion molecule (LAM-1). (elsevierpure.com)
