DLK-1 as a Marker to Distinguish Unrestricted Somatic Stem Cells and Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Cord Blood
23 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
In addition to hematopoietic stem cells, cord blood (CB) also contains different nonhematopoietic CD45-, CD34- adherent cell populations: cord blood mesenchymal stromal cells (CB MSC) that behave almost like MSC from bone marrow (BM MSC) and unrestricted somatic stem cells (USSC) that differentiate into cells of all 3 germ layers. Distinguishing between these populations is difficult due to overlapping features...
