CD133 has been widely used for identification and isolation of cancer stem cells in tumors although its role as a marker for cancer stem cell is still controversial . We isolated the CD133+ and CD133-
Using the surface marker EPHB2, we have FACS-purified and profiled stem cell-enriched cell fractions from normal human mucosa, crypt proliferative progenitors and late transient amplifying cells to de
Our study reports a role for mesenchymal TNFR1 in maintaining colonic mesenchymal cell diversity and facilitation of a function epithelial stem cell niche. Through RNA-seq profiling, we show that a TN
