in the
bone marrow within a short period of time.
Furthermore, these potentials are expanded by the notion that MSCs can exert functions
other than those classically attributed to stem or progenitor

in vivo, as observed for
bone marrow derived MSCs.

These findings are
in agreement with
other studies on
cell morphology [3, 4] and senescence [5], and the authors hope to advance these studies by separately analyzing subpopulations derived from the same
bone marrow sample, and also surveying the grade of
cell maturity (surface receptor analysis) and cytoskeleton composition of the

«My argument is that the three classic areas of neuroscience, endocrinology, and immunology, with their various organs — the brain (which is the key organ that the neuroscientists study), the glands, and the immune system (consisting of the spleen, the
bone marrow, the lymph nodes, and of course the
cells circulating throughout the body)-- that these three areas are actually joined to each
other in a bidirectional network of communication and that the information «carriers» are the neuropeptides.»

But
bone marrow stem

On the
