Amerigo Scientific is steadfastly dedicated to furnishing an exhaustive and meticulously curated antibody product catalog within the intricate and dynamic field of stem cell research.
Stem cells are a group of cells that have not yet fully differentiated. Therefore, these cells have great potential to develop into diverse organs and tissues. These cells are usually found in multicellular tissues and are capable of dividing into a series of specialized cells. Typically, stem cells develop into a series of progenitor cells that further mature along specific lineages. Stem cell markers play a pivotal role in identifying and isolating stem cells in different cell types. Therefore, these markers are commonly used to identify embryonic stem cells (ESCs), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) as well as neural stem cells (NSCs).

ESCs are the most pluripotent cell population with the greatest developmental potential. ESC markers are factors that are specifically expressed in ESCs. Fully characterizing the functions of these markers is conducive to clarifying the mechanisms of ESC pluripotency maintenance and self-renewal, thereby accelerating the clinical application of ESCs.
MSCs are a group of multipotent stem cells isolated from the umbilical cord, adipose tissue, bone marrow, adipose tissue, and fetal liver. MSCs have the properties of self-renewal ability and multi-lineage differentiation potential. Currently, MSCs play a vital role in clinical research.
HSCs are capable of producing other blood cells. A variety of blood cells originate from HSCs, such as macrophages, monocytes, red blood cells, T cells, and B cells.
NSCs, a group of self-renewing multipotent cells, are also progenitor cells in the central nervous system. NSCs generate the neurons and glial cells that underlie all animal nervous systems. In addition, NSCs also play crucial functions in neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
