Circulating osteoblast-lineage cells in humans
Article Abstract:
Flow cytometry with antibodies to bone-specific proteins was used to identify circulating osteoblast-lineage cells in 11 adolescent males and 11 adult males. Findings reveal that osteoblast-lineage cells circulate in physiologically significant numbers, correlate with markers of bone formation, and are markedly higher during pubertal growth.

Retinal progenitor cells: Timing is everything
Article Abstract:
MacLaren and coworkers have identified that retinal repair by transplantation of photoreceptor precursors is possible if they the donor cells are harvested at a stage when they have exited cell cycle to become mature photoreceptor.
