Hematopoiesis and stem cells: plasticity versus developmental heterogeneity

Nature Immunology
Stuart H Orkin, Leonard I Zon

Abstract

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) provide for blood formation throughout the life of the individual. Studies of HSCs form a conceptual framework for the analysis of stem cells of other organ systems. We review here the origin of HSCs during embryological development, the relationship between hematopoiesis and vascular development and the potential plasticity of HSCs and other tissue stem cells. Recent experiments in the mouse have been widely interpreted as evidence for unprecedented transdifferentiation of tissue stem cells. The use of enriched, but impure, cell populations allows for alternative interpretation. In considering these findings, we draw a distinction here between the plasticity of adult stem cells and the heterogeneity of stem cell types that pre-exist within tissues.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.
