Podoplanin is a small cell-surface mucin-like glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in the
development of the alveoli, heart, and lymphatic vascular system. Emerging evidence …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a population of primary and non-specialized cells,
which can be isolated from various tissues. Currently, MSCs are key players in cellular …

Fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) play a crucial role in skeletal muscle regeneration, as
they generate a favorable niche that allows satellite cells to perform efficient muscle …

The possibility of chemical contamination is an important issue to consider when designing
a cell therapy strategy. Both bisphenol A (BPA) and 2, 3, 7, 8‐tetrachlorodibenzo‐p‐dioxin …

Background Stem cells(SC) functional heterogeneity and its poorly understood aetiology
impedes clinical development of cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine and …

To coordinate specialized organs, inter-tissue communication appeared during evolution.
Consequently individual organs communicate their states via a vast interorgan …

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) upregulate podoplanin at sites of infection, chronic
inflammation and cancer. Here, we investigated the functional consequences of podoplanin …

Objective To identify molecular changes in synovium before arthritis development in
individuals at risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Materials and methods We …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells present in virtually all
tissues; they have a potent self-renewal capacity and can differentiate into multiple cell …

This chapter discusses the regulatory role of endogenous mesenchymal stem cells (MSC)
during an inflammatory response. MSC are a heterogeneous population of multipotent cells …
