In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Crisan et al.(2008) document a subpopulation of human
perivascular cells that express both pericyte and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) markers in
situ. The isolated population can expand and is clonally multipotent in culture, establishing
that MSCs found throughout fetal and adult tissues are members of the pericyte family of
cells.
