Image shows the expression of an adult stem cell signature marker (dark brown) in less aggressive lung cancer cells (left) and highly aggressive lung cancer cells (right).
Expression of pleiotrophin (green) in bone marrow blood vessels (red) and stromal cells (white) is shown in normal mice (left) and in mice at 24 hours following irradiation (right).
Upon endothelial injury, a subpopulation of previously inactive cells (left) that expressed high levels of Atf3 are triggered to regenerate (green, right).
