Wound Healing Using Electrical Stimulation: A Review by Farah Jala Jaseem, Jameel Kadhim Abed, Ahmed Rashid Ajel, Noaman Mohammad Noaman

“…The healing of wounds is always attributed to the ability of the affected skin to produce an electric current that helps the migration of stem cells and platelets to the place of extraction For the sake of healing, this is why electrical stimulation ES devices played an important role in the process of stimulation and wound treatment through using the high voltage pulsed current HVPC, low voltage pulsed current LVPC, direct current DC or pulse current PC. …”

The Hematopoietic Niche in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms by Annette H. Schmitt-Graeff, Roland Nitschke, Robert Zeiser

“…Specialized microanatomical areas of the bone marrow provide the signals that are mandatory for the maintenance and regulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitor cells. A complex microenvironment adjacent to the marrow vasculature (vascular niche) and close to the endosteum (endosteal niche) harbors multiple cell types including mesenchymal stromal cells and their derivatives such as CAR cells expressing high levels of chemokines C-X-C motif ligand 12 and early osteoblastic lineage cells, endothelial cells, and megakaryocytes. …”
