IB Black, D Woodbury - Blood Cells, Molecules, and Diseases, 2001 - Elsevier
Stem cells have been detected in many adult tissues, participating in normal replacement
and repair, while undergoing self-renewal (1–11). A subset of bone marrow stem cells
constitutes one subtype, capable of differentiating into bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon, fat,
and other mesenchymal lineages in vitro (2, 4–9). They have been termed marrow stromal
cells (MSCs). The recent detection of stem cell populations in the central nervous system
(CNS) has attracted great attention, since the brain has long been regarded as incapable of …
