The ΔN isoforms of p63 may also serve
as stem cell markers in a variety of epithelial cell types, including endometrium [30], cervix [31], breast [32], prostate [33], and in stratified squamous epithelium [21,34].

They also showed that the
cells have most of the surface «
markers» considered
as identifiers of embryonic
stem cells and form «embryoid bodies» — characteristic clumps of
cells formed by ESCs.
Based on anatomy and molecular
markers, we propose that it arose by duplication of a neighboring
stem cell, which may have enabled finer neuronal control over leg - related behaviors, such
as walking and grooming.»
The prostate seemed a promising target because previous studies with mice revealed that it contained
cells with the same protein
markers as other known
stem cells, suggesting that the necessary
stem cells might be relatively easy to find.
A series of genetic
markers sprinkled throughout the
cells» chromosomes show the same pattern found in parthenogenetic mice
as opposed to cloned mice, according to a report published online today in the journal
Cell Stem Cell.
This biomechanical
marker could be used
as a rapid and cost - effective approach to enrich for
stem - like
cells in corneal transplant tissue.
For example, labeling of these
cells with
stem - like
cell associated
markers (p63, nestin, and telomerase) have heavily implicated these
cells as stem cells [13].
When transplanted to the subretinal space of mice lacking functional photoreceptors, human embryonic
stem cells directed toward a retinal lineage integrate into the outer nuclear layer, express photoreceptor
markers, and restore a light response
as determined by the electroretinogram (ERG)[5].
A lot of effort in tumor
stem cell research has always been directed to finding a so - called
marker, a molecule whose presence on a
cell reliably identifies it
as a cancer
stem cell.
Corresponding to upregulated TRF2 expression at 80μM,
stem cell markers like CD44 and Oct4 were also observed to be upregulated in Clonospheric HCT116
as compared to Parental HCT116 (Fig. 3a and 3b) Decreasing CD24 expression in clonospheric HCT116 was observed which correlated well with increased
stem cell expression (Fig. 3b).

Since very few studies have demonstrated the formation of macro-metastasis from low numbers of sorted CSCs and currently proposed CSC
markers might not be sufficient to identify all
stem cell populations [13], we believe that our study presents a promising approach to isolate
stem - like and metastatic breast CSCs
as opposed to the
cell - sorting strategy based on putative
stem cell surface
markers.
However,
as demonstrated by a recent report from Stuelten and colleagues [13], the complexity of CSC
markers continues to pose challenges for identifying and isolating the putative tumor
stem cell populations by the
cell - sorting approach.

Neural crest - like
stem cells (NCLSC) share many properties with aggressive melanoma
cells, such
as high migratory capabilities and expression of neural crest
markers.
Of note, mouse neural
stem cells (NSCs) were reprogrammed using only one (Oct4) or two factors (Oct4 and Klf4), due to the endogenously high expression of pluripotent genes, such
as Sox2 and c - Myc,
as well
as several intermediate reprogramming
markers [14], [17], [18].
Support to date for the existence of an hypoxic niche in marrow blood
stem cells came from indirect evidence such
as expression of the hypoxia protein Hif - 1 and related genes and staining with surrogate
markers of hypoxia.
Sophisticated
cell targeting systems such
as the gene therapy approach developed for senescent
cell clearance by Oisin Biotechnologies could also be turned to
stem cell or immune
cell destruction, given suitable
markers of
cell chemistry.
The GFP+HPC s expressed a whole range of leukocyte and
stem cell markers including CD45, CD11b, CD31; relatively low levels of MHC class I; and no class II antigens,
as we recently reported [17].
Cells along the continuum show a progressively decreasing likelihood of self renewal
as their expression of
stem cell surface
markers and pluripotency genes wanes.
Oct - 4 is most consistently expressed of the pluripotency genes that we have studied, and it is switched off only in populations that have lost other measurable features of pluripotency, such
as stem cell surface
marker expression and the capacity for self - renewal.
