Distribution of LGR5+ Cells and Associated Implications during the Early Stage of Gastric Tumorigenesis
10 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Lgr5 was identified as a promising gastrointestinal tract stem cell marker in mice. Lineage tracing indicates that Lgr5(+) cells may not only be the cells responsible for the origin of tumors; they may also be the so-called cancer stem cells. In the present study, we investigated the presence of Lgr5(+) cells and their biological significance in normal human gastric mucosa and gastric tumors. RNAscope, a newly...
