The Extracellular Matrix

12.5K
Overview
In order to maintain tissue organization, many animal cells are surrounded by structural molecules that make up the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, the molecules in the ECM maintain the structural integrity of tissue as well as the remarkable specific properties of certain tissues.
Composition of the Extracellular Matrix
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is commonly composed of ground substance, a gel-like fluid, fibrous components, and many structurally and functionally diverse...

The Tumor Microenvironment02:17

The Tumor Microenvironment

7.9K
Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells01:19

Multipotency of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

3.9K
The hematopoietic stem cells or HSCs are multipotent, meaning they can differentiate and give rise to all blood and immune cells. HSCs are maintained in the quiescent stage until an external stimulus initiates their differentiation. The multipotent HSCs exist as two heterogeneous populations, long-term repopulating cells (LTRC) and short-term repopulating cells (STRC). The two HSC populations have different surface markers or receptors and are classified based on quiescence and long-term...

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells01:01

Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem Cells

4.1K
All blood and immune cells are produced from the multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) by the process of hematopoiesis. However, they all have a limited life span. In addition, many are depleted in immune surveillance or combatting an injury or infection. This makes blood one of the most regenerative tissues. Hematopoiesis helps replenish these blood and immune cells, restoring the body's normal functioning. However, overproduction of blood and immune cells can make them cancerous or...

Role of Hematopoietic Growth Factors01:28

Role of Hematopoietic Growth Factors

4.0K
Hematopoietic growth factors are molecules that regulate the differentiation rate of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Erythropoietin (EPO), primarily produced by the kidneys, plays a crucial role in erythrocyte production. When oxygen levels in the blood are low, EPO is released into the bloodstream, reaching the bone marrow, where it stimulates HSCs to differentiate and mature into erythrocytes, which are vital for oxygen transport.
Thrombopoietin (TPO), mainly released by the liver,...

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Cell Biology
  • Biomedical Sciences

Background:

  • Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) self-renew and differentiate, crucial for blood and immune systems.
  • HSPC fate is influenced by intrinsic programs and extrinsic cues from the bone marrow microenvironment.
  • Paracrine and endocrine mediators regulating hematopoiesis are not fully understood, with extracellular vesicles (EVs) emerging as significant players.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the physiological and pathophysiological roles of extracellular vesicles in bone marrow function.
  • To highlight advancements in understanding EV biogenesis, cargo, uptake, and effects.
  • To discuss the role of EVs in HSPC fate regulation and their therapeutic/diagnostic potential in hematologic disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing research on extracellular vesicles and hematopoiesis.
  • Synthesis of findings on EV biogenesis, cargo, uptake mechanisms, and functional outcomes.
  • Analysis of current applications and future prospects of EVs in hematologic disorders.

Main Results:

  • Extracellular vesicles are evolutionarily conserved regulators of cell and tissue homeostasis.
  • Recent studies indicate a significant role for EVs in regulating hematopoiesis.
