Interestingly, an increased fraction of the cell population was found to express CD44 + / CD24 - / ESA + cell surface markers.

Not exact matches

In contrast to the conversion of alpha cells, which only concerns a small fraction of the alpha cell population, the new mechanism involving delta cell fate change is a more efficient way of offsetting the loss of beta cells and thus diabetes recovery.

Moreover, all of these studies compare the pluripotent potential of the marked ICM - like population to mixed fractions that are considered a single further differentiated intermediate cell type.

While the plating efficiency of the V+S + fraction was reduced and produced 4-fold less colonies than the V − S + fraction, both fractions gave rise to identical colonies that contain equivalent populations of V + and V − cells (Figure 7A, Table 1).

The MID and LOW populations gave rise to some of these stem cell colonies, but formed more mixed or abortive colonies that were partially positive for GCTM - 2 than did the HIGH or NEG fractions.

Our work indicates that only a small fraction of the population resides at the top of the hierarchy, that lineage priming (co-expression of stem cell and lineage specific genes) characterizes pluripotent stem cell populations, and that extrinsic signaling pathways are upstream of transcription factor networks that control pluripotency.
