Abstract
The role of endogenous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is enigmatic. Recently in Cell, Takashima et al. (2007) addressed the biological origin of MSCs and showed that they are generated in waves, with the neuroepithelium unexpectedly providing the first wave and a second wave of nonneural-derived MSCs taking precedence in the adult.
