The present study compared the cellular characteristics of progenitor stem cell populations
present in adult dental pulp, isolated by different methods utilizing 2 different features of …

During the process of development, neural crest cells migrate out from their niche between
the newly formed ectoderm and the neural tube. Thereafter, they give rise not only to …

Cancer may arise from a cancer stem/progenitor cell that shares characteristics with its
normal counterpart. We report the reconstitution of the original human prostate cancer …

The search for putative precursor cells within the pancreas has been the focus of extensive
research. Previously, we identified rare pancreas-derived multipotent precursor (PMP) cells …

Adult skeletal muscle possesses a remarkable regenerative capacity, due to the presence of
satellite cells, adult muscle stem cells. We used fate-mapping techniques in avian and …

The ability to identify and isolate lineage-specific stem cells from adult tissues could facilitate
cell replacement therapy. Leydig cells (LCs) are the primary source of androgen in the …

Somatic neural and neural crest stem cells are promising sources for cellular therapy of
several neurodegenerative diseases. However, because of practical considerations such as …

Urodeles and fetal mammals are capable of impressive epimorphic regeneration in a variety
of tissues, whereas the typical default response to injury in adult mammals consists of …

Background In contrast to pluripotent embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells have been
considered to be multipotent, being somewhat more restricted in their differentiation capacity …

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are potential sources for cell therapy of neurodegenerative
diseases and for drug screening. Despite their potential benefits, ethical and practical …
