Comparative Analysis of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Bone Marrow, Umbilical Cord Blood, or Adipose Tissue

Susanne Kern, Hermann Eichler, Johannes Stoeve et al. · 13 Jan 2006

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a promising tool for new clinical concepts in supporting cellular therapy. Bone marrow (BM) was the first source reported to contain MSCs. However, for clinical use, BM may be detrimental due to the highly invasive donation procedure and the decline in MSC number and differentiation potential with increasing age. More…

Concise Review: Mesenchymal Stem Cells: Their Phenotype, Differentiation Capacity, Immunological Features, and Potential for Homing

Giselle Chamberlain, James M. Fox, Brian A. Ashton et al. · 26 Jul 2007

MSCs are nonhematopoietic stromal cells that are capable of differentiating into, and contribute to the regeneration of, mesenchymal tissues such as bone, cartilage, muscle, ligament, tendon, and adipose. MSCs are rare in bone marrow, representing approximately 1 in 10,000 nucleated cells. Although not immortal, they have the ability to expand manyfold in culture while retaining…

Bone Marrow Stromal Stem Cells: Nature, Biology, and Potential Applications

Paolo Bianco, Mara Riminucci, Stan Gronthos et al. · 1 May 2001

Bone marrow stromal cells are progenitors of skeletal tissue components such as bone, cartilage, the hematopoiesis-supporting stroma, and adipocytes. In addition, they may be experimentally induced to undergo unorthodox differentiation, possibly forming neural and myogenic cells. As such, they represent an important paradigm of post-natal nonhematopoietic stem cells, and an easy source for potential therapeutic…

Concise Review: Mesenchymal Stem/Multipotent Stromal Cells: The State of Transdifferentiation and Modes of Tissue Repair—Current Views

Donald G. Phinney, Darwin J. Prockop · 27 Sep 2007

Mesenchymal stem cells or multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from the bone marrow of adult organisms were initially characterized as plastic adherent, fibroblastoid cells with the capacity to generate heterotopic osseous tissue when transplanted in vivo. In recent years, MSCs or MSC-like cells have been shown to reside within the connective tissue of most organs,…

Concise Review: MSC-Derived Exosomes for Cell-Free Therapy

Donald G. Phinney, Mark F. Pittenger · 10 Mar 2017

Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation is undergoing extensive evaluation as a cellular therapy in human clinical trials. Because MSCs are easily isolated and amenable to culture expansion in vitro there is a natural desire to test MSCs in many diverse clinical indications. This is exemplified by the rapidly expanding literature base that includes many in vivo…

Stem Cells template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Stem Cells format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Stem Cells template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Oxford University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Stem Cells use?
Stem Cells uses Author–year (OUP) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Stem Cells, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Stem Cells?
No. DocuGuru generates the oup-authoring-template LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Oxford University Press-ready Stem Cells document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Stem Cells template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Stem Cells format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Stem Cells?
Stem Cells is a multidisciplinary journal published by Oxford University Press. DocuGuru's Stem Cells template matches Oxford University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Stem Cells PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Stem Cells template (the oup-authoring-template class) that is ready to submit to Oxford University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Stem Cells template cost?
You can start writing in the Stem Cells template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Stem Cells PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
