Overview

Anna Janowska-Wieczorek is affiliated with the University of Alberta in Canada. The academic profile indicates an active role within this institution, though specific details on research focus, publication record, or collaborations are not documented in the available data.

No recent papers, frequent co-authors, or common publication venues have been listed, which limits the scope of insight into their scholarly output or network connections.

Similarly, there are no entries for book publications, which suggests either a primary focus on journal articles or other forms of scholarly communication not detailed here.

The profile does not specify main fields or subfields of study, nor does it include main topics of work, which restricts detailed understanding of the scientist's research areas or thematic interests.

Awards or honors attributed to Anna Janowska-Wieczorek are also not recorded, providing no additional context regarding recognition within the academic community.

The scientist is currently living, and the record contains no indication of retirement or cessation of academic activity.

    Jolanta Libura;Justyna Drukala;Marcin Majka;Oana Tomescu

  • Platelet-derived microparticles stimulate proliferation, survival, adhesion, and chemotaxis of hematopoietic cells.

    Monika Baj-Krzyworzeka;Marcin Majka;Domenico Pratico;Janina Ratajczak

  • Expression of functional CXCR4 by muscle satellite cells and secretion of SDF-1 by muscle-derived fibroblasts is associated with the presence of both muscle progenitors in bone marrow and hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in muscles.

    Mariusz Z. Ratajczak;Marcin Majka;Magda Kucia;Justyna Drukala

  • Mesenchymal stromal cells derived from various tissues: Biological, clinical and cryopreservation aspects.

    Leah A. Marquez-Curtis;Anna Janowska-Wieczorek;Locksley E. McGann;Janet A.W. Elliott

  • Novel insight into stem cell mobilization-Plasma sphingosine-1-phosphate is a major chemoattractant that directs the egress of hematopoietic stem progenitor cells from the bone marrow and its level in peripheral blood increases during mobilization due to activation of complement cascade/membrane attack complex

    Mariusz Z. Ratajczak;HakMo Lee;Marcin Wysoczynski;Wu Wan

  • The SDF-1-CXCR4 axis stimulates VEGF secretion and activates integrins but does not affect proliferation and survival in lymphohematopoietic cells.

    Marcin Wysoczynski;Ryan Reca;Janina Ratajczak;Magda Kucia

  • Functional receptor for C3a anaphylatoxin is expressed by normal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, and C3a enhances their homing-related responses to SDF-1.

    Ryan Reca;Dimitrios Mastellos;Marcin Majka;Leah Marquez

  • Both Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) and Stromal-Derived Factor-1 Regulate the Metastatic Behavior of Human Rhabdomyosarcoma Cells, But Only HGF Enhances Their Resistance to Radiochemotherapy

    Kacper Jankowski;Magda Kucia;Marcin Wysoczynski;Ryan Reca

  • Biology of the hemopoietic microenvironment.

    Hector Mayani;Larry J. Guilbert;Anna Janowska‐Wieczorek
