Single-cell gene expression profiling reveals functional heterogeneity of undifferentiated human epidermal cells
12 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Human epidermal stem cells express high levels of β1 integrins, delta-like 1 (DLL1) and the EGFR antagonist LRIG1. However, there is cell-to-cell variation in the relative abundance of DLL1 and LRIG1 mRNA transcripts. Single-cell global gene expression profiling showed that undifferentiated cells fell into two clusters delineated by expression of DLL1 and its binding partner syntenin. The DLL1(+) cluster had...
