The bone marrow niche for haematopoietic stem cells

Open access

Abstract

Niches are local tissue microenvironments that maintain and regulate stem cells. Haematopoiesis provides a model for understanding mammalian stem cells and their niches, but the haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche remains incompletely defined and beset by competing models. Recent progress has been made in elucidating the location and cellular components of the HSC niche in the bone marrow. The niche is perivascular, created partly by mesenchymal stromal cells and endothelial cells and often, but not always, located near trabecular bone. Outstanding questions concern the cellular complexity of the niche, the role of the endosteum and functional heterogeneity among perivascular microenvironments.

  • Perivascular mesenchymal cells that express CD146 in humans and Cxcl12-GFP, Nestin-GFP, full-length Leptin receptor, Prx-1-Cre, Osterix-Cre, and inducible Mx-1-Cre in mice generate osteoblastic cells and express factors that promote the maintenance of HSPCs.

    “Although MSCs are a heterogeneous population and still require better characterization by surface markers, perivascular mesenchymal cells that express CD146 in humans and Cxcl12-green fluorescent protein, Nestin-green fluorescent protein, full-length Leptin receptor, Prx-1-Cre, Osterix-Cre, and inducible Mx-1-Cre in mice generate osteoblastic cells and express factors that promote the maintenance”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
