Prominin-1, originally found on neuroepithelial stem cells in mice, is a five transmembrane
domain cell-surface glycoprotein that localizes to membrane protrusions. Its homologue …

The first non-hematopoietic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were discovered by
Friedenstein in 1976, who described clonal, plastic adherent cells from bone marrow …

We describe here isolation and characterization of CD133+ cells derived from normal adult
human kidney. These cells lacked the expression of hematopoietic markers and expressed …

Apical plasma membrane constituents of mammalian neural stem/progenitor cells have
recently been implicated in maintaining their stem/progenitor cell state. Here, we report that …

Abstract Human prominin-1/CD133 has been reported to be expressed in neural and
hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells and in embryonic, but not adult, epithelia. This lack of …

The human mammary gland is organized developmentally as a hierarchy of progenitor cells
that become progressively restricted in their proliferative abilities and lineage options. Three …

Abstract Prominin‐1/CD133 is a plasma membrane marker found in several types of somatic
stem cells, including hematopoietic and neural stem cells. To study its role during …

The capacity of the kidney to regenerate functional tubules following episodes of acute injury
is an important determinant of patient morbidity and mortality in the hospital setting. After …

The ultimate aim of stem cell research is to improve patient outcomes and quality of life,
and/or to effect a cure for a variety of inherited or acquired diseases. Improved treatments …

Purpose: Focal cortical dysplasia (CD) is characterized by the presence of dysmorphic
neurons, laminar and columnar disorganization. A few patients with CD have balloon cells …
