After a CNS injury that breaches the blood-brain barrier, TGF-p 1 and TGF-P2 are released from platelets and secreted from cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage at the earliest stages of the injury response. In a number of in vivo experimental CNS injury paradigms, the local expression of TGF-p 1 increases.17-22 For... 

Both osteoblasts and osteoclasts are derived from osteo-progeni tor cells originating in the bone marrow. Osteoblast precursors are pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells and the osteoclast precursors are hematopoietic cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage. The development of osteoblasts and osteoclasts is regulated by several growth factors and cytokines whose responsiveness in turn is modulated by systemic hormones. 

Constitutive expression of MHC class 11 antigens is restricted to professional antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells, B cells or cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. There is, however, ample evidence that MHC class 11 antigen expression can be induced in eosinophils [21-24] and also in tissue cells. Particularly well analyzed are keratinocytes [25], thymic epithelial cells [26], tubular epithelial cells [27], endothelial cells [28], or synovial cell fibroblasts [29].
