Osteoimmunology: interplay between the immune system and bone metabolism. (2006, background): “Bone marrow stromal cells, which appear to be different from mature OBs, retain plasma cells via expression of adhesion molecules VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule 1) and E-selectin (22, 23).”
Osteoimmunology: shared mechanisms and crosstalk between the immune and bone systems (2007, background): “The CXCL12–CXCR4 (CXC-chemokine ligand 12 (also known as SDF1)–CXC-chemokine receptor 4) system is also involved in the colonization of bone marrow by HSCs and in their retention in the bone marrow, but the localization of CXCL12-expressing cells is not consistent with that of osteoblasts on the tra”
Pax5: the guardian of B cell identity and function (2007, background): “Lymphoid progenitors alter their adhesive properties and migratory behavior upon B cell lineage commitment, as uncommitted pre-pro-B cells and committed pro-B cells adhere to different niches in the bone marro”
