This cell population, termed multipotent progenitor cells, or MPP, appears to be activated in the context of allergies or infection with parasitic worms and may be one of the earliest cellular events in the developing immune response. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Our group originally demonstrated the capacity of MSC, also known as multipotent stromal cells, to home to tumors and participate in tumor stroma formation, suggesting MSC as a potential source of stroma ❋ Unknown (2009)
While such cells aren't pluripotent, they are "multipotent", which means they can normally differentiate into various other cell types. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The mesenchymal stem cells used by the scientists are multipotent, meaning that they can, for example, develop into heart muscle, bone or cartilaginous tissue. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Adult stem cells are multipotent, meaning for example, that a bone stem cell could be grown in the lab to make more bone skin cells, or a blood stem cell could be grown in the lab to make blood stem cells, so they are limited in their flexibility compared with embryonic stem cells. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The scientists, led by Bruno Péault, PhD, deputy director of the Stem Cell Research Center at Children's Hospital, identified cells known as pericytes that are multipotent, meaning they have broad developmental potential. ❋ Unknown (2008)
That statement is also misleading since ASCs are limited because they are multipotent but not totipotent - they can form some, but by no means all of the different kinds of cells in the body. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The path breaking research demonstrates that the JunB gene is at the center of a complex network of molecular and environmental signals that regulate the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, the multipotent, self-renewing cells that give rise to all blood cell types. ❋ Unknown (2009)
“Studies have demonstrated that MenSCs are easily expandable to clinical relevance and express multipotent markers at both the molecular and cellular level,” concluded Patel. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The stem cells found in fat are known as multipotent stem cells. ❋ Unknown (2006)
In recent years, however, the multipotent-stem-cell-rich blood found in the umbilical cord has proven useful in treating the same types of health problems as those treated using bone marrow stem cells and PBSCs. ❋ Unknown (2006)
"This is the first discovery of such a multipotent, highly prolific and readily accessible source of stem cells -- even one menstrual cycle has the potential to produce millions of stem cells," said Dr. Stephen Noga, Director, Medical Oncology/Hematology, Alvin & Lois Lapidus Cancer Institute, and Director, Cellular Therapeutics Program, Sinai Hospital of Baltimore. ❋ Unknown (2008)
“Uterine stromal cells have similar multipotent markers found in bone marrow stem cells and originate in part from bone marrow.” ❋ Unknown (2008)
In the study, Verfaillie claims to have discovered multipotent adult progenitor cells MAPCs that have much the same developmental qualities as embryonic stem cells. ❋ FindProfit Geoffrey Seiler (2006)
So-called adult stem cells are multipotent because they can develop into several different types of cells, but not as many as embryonic stem cells. ❋ Unknown (2005)
