- Recruitment of stem and progenitor cells from the bone marrow niche requires MMP-9 mediated release of kit-ligand. (2002, background): “…stemRoom D601 cells, including hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs; ReyaNew York, New York 10021 et al., 2001), endothelial progenitors (Lyden et al., 2001),3 Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research neuronal and muscle stem cells (Krause et al., 2001;1275 York Avenue Blau et al., 2001).”
- Neural stem and progenitor cells in nestin‐GFP transgenic mice (2004, background): “Moreover, recent reports have raised the possibility that neural stem cells can demonstrate even more plasticity than originally envisaged and may contribute to a range of cell lineages (Bjornson et al., 1999; Brazelton et al., 2000; Clarke et al., 2000; Blau et al., 2001).”
- Genetics and biology of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. (2006, background): “Recent observations have fostered a more dynamic view of stem cells in which “stem-ness” represents a differentiation state rather than a discrete entity (Blau et al. 2001).”
- Evidence that fibroblasts derive from epithelium during tissue fibrosis. (2002, background): “Unfortunately, the order and assembly of these patterned events are not well understood (4, 5); for that matter, not all cells have been studied.”
- Embryonic stem cells (2004, background): “These ‘adult’ stem cells were originally thought to be committed to regenerating only a very restricted set of cell lineages, however, it is becoming increasingly evident that they can show considerably more plasticity (Blau et al. 2001; Morrison 2001; Prockop et al. 2003).”
