20 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Analysis of the hematopoietic system has shown that bone marrow stem cells contain a subpopulation that effluxes the DNA binding dye, Hoechst 33342, out of the cell membrane. These cells are called side population (SP) cells and have been shown to have stem cell characteristics. SP cells have already been found in solid tumors, although there are no published reports examining the role of SP cells in...
