Figure 1From: Perivascular mesenchymal stem cells in the adult human brain: a future target for neuroregeneration?The adult human brain vascular niche contains a novel progenitor with multi-lineage capacity that appears to represent both MSCs and pericytes. These progenitor cells give rise to both neuronal lineage (astrocyte, oligodendrocytes, and neurons) and mesodermal lineage (adipocytes, chondroblasts, and osteoblasts) at the clonal level.Back to article page
