AbstractMesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are notable for their differentiation potential and immunomodulatory properties. They share several features with macrophages that are also similar to those of fibrocytes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between MSCs, fibrocytes, and macrophages, focusing on the hypothesis of a possible direct lineage. This study focuses on a freshly isolated murine MSC population known as PalphaSmMSCs (CD45- TER119- Sca-1+ PDGFRα+).

Mina’s Matchbox is about, and often reads like it has been written for, children. Set in 1970s Japan, the novel is sweet and uncomplicated. Twelve-year-old Tomoko moves in with her uncle while her mother trains as a seamstress. She is enthralled by her cousin Mina, a girl who poses ‘difficult to answer’ questions and is so asthmatic that she has to ride to school on her pet hippopotamus.
