TL;DR: The pattern of development suggests that definitive hematopoietic progenitors arise in the yolk sac, migrate through the bloodstream and seed the fetal liver to rapidly initiate the first phase of intraembryonic hematoiesis.

TL;DR: The adult heart contains an Abcg2 expressing SP cell population and these progenitor cells are capable of proliferation and differentiation, and it is proposed that the cardiac SPcell population functions as a progenitors cell population for the development, maintenance, and repair of the heart.

TL;DR: Kinetic analysis demonstrated that the blast colony-forming cells represent a transient population, preceding the establishment of the primitive erythroid and other lineage-restricted precursors, which may represent the earliest stage of embryonic haematopoietic commitment.

TL;DR: An embryonic stem cell line generated with the green fluorescent protein (GFP) targeted to the mesodermal gene, brachyury, revealed the emergence of three distinct cell populations, which represent a developmental progression ranging from pre-mesoderm to prehemangioblast mesodermTo investigate the developmental processes that regulate Mesoderm induction and specification to the hemangiOBlast.

TL;DR: It is shown that the level of expression of the melanoma oncogene correlates with the degree of malignancy of the tumour, and the corresponding proto-oncogene is developmentally regulated.
