Traditional concepts indicate that stem cells give rise to progenitor cells in a hierarchical system. We studied murine engraftable stem cells (ESCs) and progenitors in in vitro and found that ESC and progenitors exist in a reversible continuum, rather then a hierarchy. B6.SJL and BALB/c marrow cell
Lineage studies conducted in the retina more than 25 years ago demonstrated the multipotency of retinal progenitor cells (RPCs). The number and types of cells produced by individual RPCs, even from a single time point in development, were found to be highly variable. This raised the question of whet
