Identification and genetic manipulation of human and mouse oesophageal stem cells
20 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Human oesophageal stem cell research is hampered by the lack of an optimal assay system to study self-renewal and differentiation. We aimed to identify and characterise human and mouse oesophageal stem/progenitor cells by establishing 3-dimensional organotypic sphere culture systems for both species. DESIGN: Primary oesophageal epithelial cells were freshly isolated and fluorescence-activated cell...
