CD133 (prominin‐1) was the first in a class of novel pentaspan membrane proteins to be
identified in both humans and mice, and was originally classified as a marker of primitive …

1998 saw the publication of two papers describing the growth in vitro of human embryonic
stem (ES) cells derived either from the inner cell mass (ICM) of the early blastocyst or the …

Many, if not all, tumours contain a sub‐population of self‐renewing and expanding stem
cells known as cancer stem cells (CSCs). The symmetric division of CSCs is one mechanism …

ABSTRACT. Injury to a target organ can be sensed by bone marrow stem cells that migrate
to the site of damage, undergo differentiation, and promote structural and functional repair. …

Stem cells are undifferentiated long-lived cells that are capable of many rounds of division.
Here we show that adult human liver cells can be derived from stem cells originating in the …

Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with approximately 700 common associated
variants identified through genome-wide association studies so far. Here, we report 83 …

… Sections were incubated in 1 M sodium thiocyanate for 10 min at 80C, washed in PBS, and
then digested in 0.4% w/v pepsin in 0.1 M HCl for 10 min at 37C. The reaction was quenched …

OBJECTIVE: To examine dose–response relationships between the cumulative number of
months women lactated and postmenopausal risk factors for cardiovascular disease. …

Background & aims: Myofibroblasts of bone marrow origin have recently been found in a
number of parenchymal organs such as the gut and kidney. We have analyzed the origin of …

Background & Aims Bone marrow (BM) cells may transdifferentiate into or fuse with organ
parenchymal cells. BM therapy shows promise in murine models of cirrhosis, and clinical trials …
