WHIM Syndrome is a rare immunodeficiency caused by gain-of-function CXCR4 mutations. Here we report a decrease in bone mineral density in 25% of WHIM patients and bone defects leading to osteoporosis in a WHIM mo...

Protocol
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for replenishing immune cells and reside in bone marrow (BM) niches, which provide all cellular and molecular components required for their lifelong maintenance ...
Protocol
B cell development is a stepwise process encompassing several B cell precursor stages that can be phenotypically distinguished, and that is taking place in the bone marrow in adults. Interestingly, within the ...
Protocol
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult cells that are present in several tissues including the bone marrow (BM), in which they can differentiate in a variety of cell types such as osteobla...
Book
Protocol
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are a rare, heterogeneous and multipotent population that can be isolated from several tissues. MSC were originally discovered in the bone marrow and studied for their capacity ...
Article
Several tolerance checkpoints exist throughout B cell development to control autoreactive B cells and prevent the generation of pathogenic autoantibodies. FcγRIIb is an Fc receptor that inhibits B cell activat...

Protocol
Galectin-1 (GAL1) is a pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR) ligand that induces pre-BCR clustering and leads to efficient pre-B cell proliferation and differentiation in the bone marrow. To study pre-BCR–GAL1 interac...
Protocol
The mechanisms controlling affinity maturation have been extensively studied over the last 20 years and the central role of T follicular helper cells (Tfh) in this process has now been clearly established. In ...
