title: [Mesenchymal stromal progenitor cells: general characteristics and functional state in low oxygen tension].
abstract: The promising use of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) in regenerative technologies accounts for necessity of detailed study and analysis of their physiology. Along with searching for MSC specific immunophenotype markers and factors that affect MSC heterogeneity, proliferative activity, self-renewal capacity and differentiation potential, progenitor, the cells functioning in low oxygen tension present one the open-ended problems. The specific response of progenitor cells to hypoxia seems to depend on many factors including their commitment and differentiation status, tissue type as well as the nature of the hypoxic impact. Interestingly, it was shown that low oxygen tension can be used as a factor regulating MSC proliferation, viability and differentiation.
