Identification of a tumor‐initiating stem cell population in human renal carcinomas
9 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
The purpose of the present study was to search for the presence of a tumor-initiating stem cell population in renal carcinomas. Based on the recent identification of mesenchymal stem cells in normal kidneys, we sorted cells expressing the mesenchymal stem cell marker CD105 from 5 human renal carcinomas. Because the CD105(+) but not the CD105(-) population showed enhanced tumorigenicity when injected in severely...
