Young-Pearse; Takako Niikura; Yoh-suke Mukouyama The molecular mechanism by which NSC number is controlled in the neurogenic regions of the adult brain is not fully understood but it has been shown that vascular niche signals regulate neural stem...

.... The ability to study the adipose stem cell vascular niche has been aided by procedures that maintain the native structure of the microenvironment, thus allowing the isolation of stromal vascular particulates (SVPs) as an organotypic culture system ( Tang et al., 2011 ; Tang et al., 2008 ). Isolation of SVPs...

..., differentiation and growth. During adult life, capillaries provide a vascular niche for the maintenance of β-cell function and survival. We explore the possibility that the vasculature constitutes a dynamic and regionalized signaling system that carries out multiple and changing functions as it coordinately grows...
