Differentiation-related changes in mitochondrial properties indicate stem cell competence
August 14th, 2006
Differentiation-related changes in mitochondrial properties indicate stem cell competence. "Several methods may be used to assess stem cell competence, including the expression of cell surface markers and telomerase activity. We hypothesized that mitochondrial characteristics might be an additional and reliable way to verify stem cell competence," scientists in the United States report. According to T. Lonergan and colleagues at the University of New Orleans, "In a multipotent, adult monkey stromal stem cell line, previously shown to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteocytes, we found that several mitochondrial properties change...
