Cancer stem cells (CSCs) or tumor initiating cells (TICs) contribute to tumorigenesis,
metastasis, recurrence and chemoresistance. CD133, a pentaspan membrane glycoprotein …

Basic and clinical research accomplished during the last few years on embryonic, fetal,
amniotic, umbilical cord blood, and adult stem cells has constituted a revolution in …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play an important role in hematopoiesis. To
elucidate the role of miRNAs in the early steps of hematopoiesis, we directly compared …

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation represents the most effective form of
immunotherapy for chemorefractory diseases. However, animal models have been missing …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been positively identified and successfully isolated from
some but not all cancers. The studies on CSCs to date suggest that these cells are rare …

Background Stem/progenitor cells (SPCs) demonstrate neuro-regenerative potential that is
dependent upon their humoral activity by producing various trophic factors regulating cell …

Nucleoporin 98 (NUP98) is a component of the nuclear pore complex that facilitates mRNA
export from the nucleus. It is mapped to 11p15. 5 and is fused to a number of distinct …

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is an efficient and valuable source of hematopoietic stem cells
(HSCs) for transplantation. In addition to HSCs it harbours low amounts of mesenchymal …

OBJECTIVE: Cell surface glycans contribute to the adhesion capacity of cells and are
essential in cellular signal transduction. Yet, the glycosylation of hematopoietic stem and …

The early hematopoietic zinc finger protein/zinc finger protein 521 (EHZF/ZNF521) is a
recently identified, 1131 amino-acid-long nuclear factor that contains 30 zinc fingers …
