Such a depot or niche of endothelial

epithelial stem cells located
in the anterior limbus that supply
cells to the basal epithelium as transient amplifying
cells, the
cells that become committed to the state of terminal differentiation [11,15].

in animals using retinal pigment
epithelial cells derived from human embryonic
stem cells and a method for deriving
stem cells using a single -
cell approach that does not harm embryos.
Subsequent studies, as reviewed by Daniels et al. [11] and Lavker and Sun [12] showed that some
cells located
in the anterior limbus are
stem cells which partially differentiate into transient amplifying
cells while migrating centrally into the posterior
epithelial layer of the cornea.

in the cellular and molecular mechanisms which control lung
epithelial stem cell fate decisions.

Considering that miR - 142 is highly expressed
in human BCSCs, but weakly expressed or undetectable

in the breast tumor progression
in vivo.
