Summary of the marker genes relating to multipotency, stemness, or differentiation, identified to be differentially expressed by microarray analysis, which distinguishes between high proliferative/multipotent hDPSCs and low proliferative/lineage-restricted hDPSC subpopulations. Adapted from Kobayashi et al. [80].
