Applications of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Neural Crest Cells in Craniofacial Skeletal Research

Figure 1

(a) Neural crest lineage labeling mouse (Wnt1-Cre/GFP) clearly demonstrates green fluorescence-positive NCCs in craniofacial tissues at embryonic day 11. Scale bar, 1 mm. (b) Murine bone marrow cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The chart shows that cells expressing hematopoietic lineage markers (CD45 and Ter119) were negatively gated, and the highly potent murine MSC marker-expressing (PαS) subset is indicated by the black-colored box.
