The adult human brain harbors multipotent perivascular mesenchymal stem cells.

The adult human brain harbors multipotent perivascular mesenchymal stem cells.

Blood vessels and adjacent cells form perivascular stem cell niches in adult tissues. In this perivascular niche, a stem cell with mesenchymal characteristics was recently identified in some adult somatic tissues. These cells are pericytes that line the microvasculature, express mesenchymal markers...
