Molecular 'marker' on stem cells aids research, perhaps therapies

Source: UT Southwestern Medical Center
Date: December 4, 2006

Summary:

A sugar molecule present on embryonic stem cells also has been found on the surface of a type of adult stem cell, a discovery that may help researchers isolate and purify adult stem cells for use in therapies aimed at bone healing, tendon repair and cartilage regeneration, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center report.
