Abstract

The effect of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on the proliferation and differentiation of hemopoietic stem cells has been studied in a long-term bone marrow liquid culture system. In cultures supplemented with PGE1, there was a dose dependent decrease in both CFUS and CFUc. (CSA levels rose dose dependently, with a concomitant increase in mature granulocyte production. Macrophage production was suppressed.) After cessation of PGE1 treatment, CFUS and CFUc returned gradually to the control values and CSA was not detectable. There was no significant effect on hemopoiesis in cultures supplemented with 10(-8) M or less concentrations.

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.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
