Abstract excerpt
We report here that human esophageal keratinocyte stem cells are characterized by the expression of the low-affinity neurotrophin receptor p75(NTR) and differentially expressed cell adhesion molecules, the beta1 and beta4 integrins. The candidate stem cells could be fractionated from keratinocytes as a minor cell subset by means of immunocytochemical cell sorting based on the different levels of expression of...
