Abstract excerpt
The stem cell niche is a unique tissue microenvironment that regulates the self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells. Although several stromal cells and molecular pathways have been identified, the microenvironment of the stem cell niche remains largely unclear. Recent evidence suggests that stem cells are localized in areas with low oxygen. We have hypothesized that hypoxia maintains the undifferentiated...
