Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Regulate Initial Self-Renewing Divisions of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells by a β1-Integrin-Dependent Mechanism
16 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
In previous reports, we have demonstrated that only direct cell-cell contact with stromal cells, such as the murine stromal cell line AFT024, was able to alter the cell division kinetics and self-renewing capacity of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC). Because beta(1)-integrins were shown to be crucial for the interaction of HPC with the bone marrow microenvironment, we have studied the role of...
