How Are Progenitor Cells Identified in Histological Studies?
In histological studies, progenitor cells can be identified using specific markers that are unique to these cells. Techniques such as immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization are commonly employed to detect these markers. For instance, markers like Nestin and Sox2 are used to identify neural progenitor cells, while markers like CD34 and CD117 are used for hematopoietic progenitor cells.
