## Abstract Mechanical loads produce a diverse set of biophysical signals that may regulate bone cell activity, but accumulating evidence suggests that interstitial fluid flow is the primary signal that bone cells perceive. Because we previously demonstrated that oscillatory fluid flow increases hu

Abstract
Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are a rich source of osteogenic progenitor cells. A fundamental question is whether systemically transplanted BMSCs participate in bone regeneration. Luciferase and GFP double‐labeled BMSCs were transplanted into irradiated mice. Five weeks after transplantation, artificial bone wounds were created in the mandibles and calvaria of the recipients. Animals were sacrificed at weeks 2, 4, and 6 after surgery and the expressions of luciferase and GFP were determined using Xenogen IVIS Imaging System, immunohistochemical staining and RT‐PCR. The results demonstrated that transplanted BMSCs can be detected in wound sites as early as 2 weeks and lasted the whole experimental period. Luciferase expression peaked at 2 weeks after surgery and decreased thereafter, exhibiting a similar expression pattern as that of BSP, while GFP expression was relatively stable during the experimental period. In conclusion, BMSCs can migrate to bone wound sites and participate in bone regeneration in orocraniofacial region. J. Cell. Physiol. 215: 204–209, 2008. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Many systems have been proposed for the encapsulation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) within degradable hydrogels. Here, we use a novel cyclic acetal‐based biomaterial formed from 5‐ethyl‐5‐(hydroxymethyl)‐β,β‐dimethyl‐1,3‐dioxane‐2‐ethanol diacrylate (EHD) and poly(ethylene glycol
We investigated the adoptive transfer of immunity to herpes simplex virus (HSV) in 61 recipients of T-cell-depleted marrow allografts. Up to 3 months after bone marrow transplantation (BMT), high titres of HSV antibody (Ab) are passively acquired from blood products. This antibody has a half-life of
