Abstract

A privileged position A new study identifies the bone marrow haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche — a specialized microenvironment where stem cells reside — as an immune privileged site. This property is known to exist in the testis, ovary and hair follicle but has not been universally demonstrated in all stem cell niches. High-resolution in vivo imaging shows the accumulation of regulatory T cells in the HSC niche, enabling transplanted allo-HSCs to escape from allogeneic rejection. As well as supporting stem-cell function, the niche may provide a relative sanctuary from immune attack that could extend to malignant cells in some instances.
