Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena have discovered a previously unknown function of immune cells in the bone marrow.

The local stem cell environment (niche) is vital for stem cell maintenance and function in many tissues, and tenascin C in particular has been shown to play an important role within stem cell niches ...

Price also identified cells that lacked the myoblast marker myoblast determination protein 1 (MyoD) but expressed the satellite cell marker paired box 7 (Pax7). “What he found was that, in the niche ...
