Not exact matches

Only a small subpopulation of cells are capable of picking up DNA, a state known as «competence,» at any given time, even when the cells are genetically identical and grown under the same conditions.

In our study, we found that the emergence of a small non-adherent subpopulation (approximately 1 %) survived after the first hypoxia / reoxygenation cycle and speculate that cyclic exposures of hypoxia and reoxygenation may select for the stem - like subpopulation with the ability to overcome replication arrest whereas the majority of non-adherent cells can not.

Importantly, these cells expressed CD45, with smaller subpopulations expressing the important hematopoietic markers CD117 and Sca - 1, suggesting that these cells may have the potential to populate bone marrow and eventually replenish senescent peripheral blood hematopoietic cells.

Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis of HUF1 cells stained with the SSEA3 / 488 antibody complex, revealed a larger subpopulation of cells with little or no SSEA3 expression and a smaller subpopulation with detectable SSEA3 expression (Figure 2B).
