Summary:The trafficking of stem cells is something unconsciously clear to any biologists (e.g., developmental biologists) and physicians (e.g., all those taking care of hematopoietic and bone diseases and traumas); neverthless it is a phenomenon coming out as a hot topic just in these last years. Likely, the difficulties to track stem cells migration <em>in vivo</em> and the understanding of the elusive homing signals matching the circulating stem cells properties that makes these cells to stop and to start multiplication and differentiation....
