Derivation of Pluripotent Cells from Mouse SSCs Seems to Be Age Dependent
Figure 3
Bar plot showing expression of pluripotency and germ cell associated genes between neonatal SSCs (coloured dark blue), 7-week-old adult SSCs (coloured light blue), and 12-week-old adult SSCs (coloured green blue). Red arrows mark significantly downregulated genes and purple arrows mark upregulated genes in adult SSCs (more than 2-fold and ). Note that the core pluripotency genes Oct4, Nanog, and Sox2 are downregulated in adult SSCs from 12-week-old mice.
