Stromal stem cells (CFU-f) in yolk sac, liver, spleen and bone marrow of pre- and postnatal mice. 1987

R L Van den Heuvel, and S R Versele, and G E Schoeters, and O L Vanderborght

Our results demonstrate that in yolk sac, liver, spleen and femoral bone marrow of mice at ages ranging between 11 d of gestation and adult life, important changes in the stromal stem cell population (CFU-f assay) occur which are correlated with haemopoiesis. In the liver, spleen and bone marrow, high numbers of CFU-f precede high haemopoietic stem cell values. As haemopoiesis starts in the spleen, CFU-f numbers in fetal liver are low. Similarly, CFU-f numbers decrease in the spleen as bone marrow haemopoiesis starts. This suggests the existence of a migration stream of stromal stem cells. In spleen and bone marrow, CFU-f numbers decrease towards adult life as these organs maintain a stable haemopoietic activity.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
