    Article Title: Endothelial protein C receptor CD201 is a better marker than SCA1 to identify mouse long-term reconstituting hematopoietic stem cells following septic challenge.
    Article Snippet: Stem cell antigen-1 (SCA1) is widely used to identify mouse hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and multipotent progenitors (MPP) among lineage-negative KIT (LK) cells.. However, SCA1 is expressed only in a few inbred mouse strains and becomes strongly upregulated on LK cells following in vivo challenge with interferons, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or pathogens leading to incorrect analysis of HSC function subsets and delineation of HSC, MPP and lineage-restricted progenitor subsets.. Endothelial protein C receptor CD201can be used as an alternative marker for mouse and even human HSC.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic illustration shows the role of human gingival fibroblast–conditioned media (HGF-CM) in regulating osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). (A) ECM stiffness stimulates CXCL12 chemokine expression in HGFs, which is associated with enhanced osteogenic responses in HPDLCs. (B) A potential clinical application of this mechanism is the utilization of HGF-derived factors to suppress inflammatory bone resorption and stabilize periodontal tissues. CXCL12: CXC motif chemokine 12.
