Nestin is a class VI intermediate filament protein that was originally described as a neuronal
stem cell marker during central nervous system (CNS) development, and is currently widely …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells capable of differentiating into multiple
cell lineages and contributing to tissue repair and regeneration. Characterization of the …

Aims: Radiation-induced normal tissue toxicity is closely linked to endothelial cell (EC)
damage and dysfunction (acute effects). However, the underlying mechanisms of radiation …

The suitability of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in regenerative medicine relies
on retention of their proliferative expansion potential in conjunction with the ability to …

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are malignant hematopoietic stem cell disorders that
have the capacity to progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Accumulating evidence …

The interest in perivascular cells as a niche for adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is
significantly growing. In the adult bone marrow (BM), perivascular cells and HSCs cohabit …

Endoneurial fibroblast-like cells (EFLCs) are one of the cell populations present in the
peripheral nervous system. The role and immunophenotypic characteristics of EFLCs are …

Perivascular cells expressing platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFR-β) have
recently been implicated in fibrotic scar formation after acute brain injury, but their precise …

Objective The pathogenetic mechanisms by which HLA-DRB1 alleles are associated with
anticitrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA)-positive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are incompletely …

Nestin is a member of the intermediate filament family, which is expressed in a variety of
stem or progenitor cells as well as in several types of malignancies. Nestin might be …
