Mesenchymal Stem Cells (Mcr)


Endth.Mcr.MSCs
Pericyte mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are cells which originate from pericytes surrounding capillaries and microvessels.

According to some laboratories, these perivascular cells represent the in vivo ancestors of the in vitro mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). A growing number of studies have demonstrated that these tissue-residing stem cells can be found in various vascular niches (e.g., bone-marrow and adipose depots).
