MUC1 Protein Mediates the Growth of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells, Stem Cell Treatment and Cancer Breakthrough
The cleaved form, MUC1*, is expressed on undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells while the full-length, uncleaved protein (MUC1-FL) is expressed on differentiated stem cells. These studies represent a big step forward for human stem cell research and the future of stem cell transplantation. Previously Minerva Biotechnology reported that the MUC1 protein exists in the same …
