Abstract (original English)

Multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) reside in specialized niches of the bone marrow (BM). The maintenance of their stemness requires a precisely regulated bone marrow microenvironment (BMM), supported by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), stromal reticular cells, and endothelial and nerve cells located within the vascular and endosteal niches. The heterogeneity of the niche environment is caused by the diversity of cell populations from HSCs to more mature hematopoietic cell types and MSCs, which collectively influence the complex intercellular interactions involved in hematopoiesis. MSC subclusters in BM are characterized by the phenotypes of CXC-chemokine ligand 12, leptin receptor, neuron-glial antigen 2, and Nestin+ cells. The article presents a detailed characterization of individual stem cell types in the BM, their reciprocal interaction, and the possibility of in vitro simulation of the bone marrow niche as a dynamic structure. Development of a suitable simulation of the BMM is essential for advancing research into both physiological and pathological processes of hematopoiesis. The main goal is to simulate 3D cell culture using biomaterials that mimic the BM niche in the form of hydrogels and scaffolds, in combination with extracellular matrix components.

What this study does not prove
