Secret talk between epithelium and endothelium determines hair follicle stem cell fate

Posted by , on 6 November 2019

By Kefei Nina Li and Prachi Jain   Stem cells are typically defined by their ability to self-renew and differentiate. These activities are tightly controlled by both intrinsic cues and ...

Stem cell makes its own niche: the story behind the paper

Posted by , on 7 July 2018

In our recent paper published in Nature, we unravel a new mechanism of an extracellular matrix protein secreted by muscle satellite (stem) cells, thereby playing the unusual role of acting ...

Multiple stem cells, population asymmetry and position-dependent heterogeneity emerge as common features of a niche for Drosophila Follicle Stem Cells and mammalian Intestinal Stem Cells

Posted by , on 16 June 2017

A discussion of “Alternative direct stem cell derivatives defined by stem cell location and graded Wnt signalling,” Nat Cell Biol, 2017. 19(5): p. 433-444.   We have recently revised the model ...

Stem cells at home

Posted by , on 12 April 2012

We depend on our own comfort zones to keep us grounded, and stem cells are no different.  A recent paper in Development describes how the adhesion that keeps a stem ...

Posted by , on 20 March 2012

A 3 years post-doctoral position is immediately available in the laboratory of Michèle Crozatier and Alain Vincent, at the Centre de Biologie du Développement CNRS/Toulouse University, France. One main topic ...

Establishing a niche

Posted by , on 12 April 2011

If there is hope to fully understand stem cells, then the environment surrounding those stem cells must be understood too.  A recent Development paper describes important results on niche establishment ...
