Meridians are the giant system for communication and co-evolution of human committed
stem cells, adult stem cells, pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells. It is mainly …

BACKGROUND: More and more stem cells such as hematopoietic stem cells, neural stem
cells and induced pluripotent stem cells have been discovered, but there is no unified theory …

AIM: To investigate the correlation of tissue specific stem cells regarded as original source of
regeneration for an absolute majority of tissues and the system of channels and collaterals …

Stem cell niche provides a microenvironment in which stem cells can survive, renew and
differentiate for a long-term time. It is a complex and open microsystem that not only provides …

Stem cell niches and their colonies are identified as acupoints. Diverse stem cell niches that
distribute orderly constitute the TCM meridian system. In a stem cell niche, different kinds of …

Stem cells are a kind of specialized cell type with the ability of self-renewal and multilineage
differentiation potential. They can proliferate and differentiate into many other cell types …

The nature of the stem cell niche and its interaction with stem cells is one of fundamental
problems in the biology of stem cells. Stem cell niches are formed during ontogeny. A niche …

Asymmetric cell division is a common concept to explain the capability of stem cells to
simultaneously produce a continuous output of differentiated cells and to maintain their own …

ABSTRACT A stem cell niche is defined as the most suitable tissue microenvironment where
somatic cells (parent cells) or in some cases extracellular matrix elements and stem cells are …

During mammalian postnatal life, the bone marrow (BM) is the primary site of
haematopoiesis and haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) maintenance. Although the generation …
