Stromal cells are connective tissue cells of any organ for example in the uterine mucosa endometrium prostate bone marrow lymph node and the ovary they are cells that support the function of the parenchymal cells of that organ.

Adult bone marrow also contains stromal stem cells which contribute to the regeneration of several tissues such as bone cartilage muscle ligament tendon adipose tissue and marrow stroma 9 human bmscs have been identified and characterized and it has been shown that they support hematopoietic progenitors and secrete a number of. When autologous or allogeneic bmscs were added back to t c. It is composed of hematopoietic cells marrow adipose tissue and supportive stromal cells in adult humans bone marrow is primarily located in the ribs vertebrae sternum and bones of the pelvis.

Bone marrow is a semi solid tissue found within the spongy or cancellous portions of bones. Sscs have been identified as pericytes cells on the abluminal side of marrow sinusoids and have demonstrated the ability to self renew. The most common stromal cells include fibroblasts and pericytes the term stromal comes from latin stromat bed covering and ancient greek στρῶμα.
