Infantile haemangioma expresses embryonic stem cell markers
23 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The origin of infantile haemangioma (IH) remains enigmatic. A primitive mesodermal phenotype origin of IH with the ability to differentiate down erythropoietic and terminal mesenchymal lineages has recently been demonstrated. AIMS: To investigate the expression of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) markers in IH and to determine whether IH-derived cells have the functional capacity to form teratoma in...
