Bone marrow‐derived very small embryonic‐like stem cells: Their developmental origin and biological significance
11 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Data from our and other laboratories provide evidence that bone marrow (BM) contains a population of stem cells that expresses early developmental markers such as (1) stage-specific embryonic antigen (SSEA) and (2) transcription factors Oct-4 and Nanog. These are the markers characteristic for embryonic stem cells, epiblast stem cells, and primordial germ cells (PGC). The presence of these stem cells in adult BM...
