Role of Adipocytes in Metabolic Homeostasis Adipose tissue, consisting of white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), is a key regulator of systemic energy and glucose homeostasis. White…
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells that give rise to cells of the skeletal system including cartilage (chondrocytes), bone (osteoblasts), and fat cells (adipocytes). MSCs play an…
Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Multipotent Multitaskers Mesenchymal stem cells can be found in multiple tissues, including adipose, bone marrow, and Wharton’s Jelly—part of the umbilical cord. They are multipotent, which means…
Adult Stem Cells: A Critical Factor in the Maintenance of Adult Tissues Adult stem cells are capable of self-renewal and multipotent differentiation (differentiation into multiple, but limited, cell types). In…
Multipotent, Pluripotent, and Totipotent Stem Cells and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have two characteristics: they give rise to different mature cell types and have…
Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Chondrogenic Differentiation Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells found in certain tissues, such as the bone marrow and fat. They have the capacity to differentiate…
Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Multipotent Progenitors of Bone, Fat, and Cartilage Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are stem cells that can be found in the bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord.…
Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Adult Stem Cells with Multiple Destinies Although totipotent stem cells exist only during early embryogenesis, many adult tissues retain adult stem cells, which are multipotent and can…
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a component of the stroma in multiple tissues, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, the umbilical cord (or Wharton’s Jelly), and others. MSCs are multipotent adult…
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an extremely useful tool to study stem cells and differentiation. MSCs can be isolated from a number of organ sites that include the bone marrow,…
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are stromal cells that are primarily found in the bone marrow, but can be isolated from other locations, including adipose, the umbilical cord as well as…
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) originate from the mesoderm during embryonic development and give rise to multiple different tissue types including bone, cartilage, and fat. It is important to note that…
