Thus, several groups have developed vectors and strategies to confer genetic chemoprotection upon bone marrow stem and progenitor cells.
We investigated the effect of traumatic cortical injury on the fate of endogenous adult progenitors.
Further comparison of haemangioma endothelial cells to immature progenitor-derived endothelial cells should clarify this issue.
A similar function is seen with longitudinal glia progenitors.
This study incorporates this idea and examines women as active progenitors of their identities in changing contexts.
Male fetal progenitor cells persist in maternal blood for as long as 27 years postpartum.
One hypothesis predicts that the basic defect in haemangiomas is a genetic mutation of the endothelial cell, or its progenitor.
Lineage studies are hampered by limited numbers of progenitors cells available to study.
