<h4>Objective</h4>The significant role of direct contact between hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) and the cellular microenvironment for maintaining "stemness" has been demonstrated. Human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) feeder layers represent a surrogate model for this interaction. Specific adhesion molecules are responsible for this cell-cell contact.<h4>Methods</h4>To define cell-cell contact between HPC and MSC, we have studied adhesive interaction of various fractions of HPC by using a nove ...[more]
