Bone marrow (BM) has been for many years primarily envisioned as the 'home organ' of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). In this review we will discuss current views of the BM stem cell compartment and present data showing that BM in addition to HSC also contains a heterogeneous population of non-hematopoietic stem cells. These cells have been variously described in the literature as i) endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), ii) mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), iii) multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPC), iv) marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI) cells, v) multipotent adult stem cells (MACS) and vi) very small embryonic-like (VSEL) stem cells. It is likely that in many cases similar or overlapping populations of primitive stem cells in the BM were detected using different experimental strategies and hence were assigned different names.
