Cancer stem cells, a relatively small group of self-renewing cancer cells, were first isolated
from acute myeloid leukemia. These cells can play a crucial role in tumor metastasis …

Apical–basal progenitor cell polarity establishes key features of the radial and laminar
architecture of the developing human cortex. The unique diversity of cortical stem cell …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) exhibit intrinsic therapy/stress resistance, which often cause
cancer recurrence after therapy. In this study, we investigated the potential relationship …

Differences in ciliary morphology and dynamics among multiciliated cells of the respiratory
tract contribute to efficient mucociliary clearance. Nevertheless, little is known about how …

CD133 is a transmembrane protein that mainly localizes to the plasma membrane in
hematopoietic/neural stem cells and cancer stem cells. Although CD133 also localizes to the …

Dynamic contacts between cells within the developing neuroepithelium are poorly
understood but play important roles in cell and tissue morphology and cell signalling. Here …

Coronavirus disease represents a real threat to the global population, and understanding
the biological features of the causative virus, that is, severe acute respiratory syndrome …

Fate and behavior of neural progenitor cells are tightly regulated during mammalian brain
development. Metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, that …

CD133, also known as prominin-1, was first identified as a biomarker of mammalian cancer
and neural stem cells. Previous studies have shown that the prominin-like (promL) gene, an …

According to the current consensus, murine neural stem cells (NSCs) apically contacting the
lateral ventricle generate differentiated progenitors by rare asymmetric divisions or by …
