Stem Cells and Development PosterStem cells are unique cells due to their capability to limitlessly self-renew and differentiate into each cell type in the adult body. Stem cells’ capability to differentiate depends on the stem cell type. Regardless of the type of stem cell you are working with, BioLegend offers stem cell-focused reagents for flow cytometry, cell screening, western blotting, ELISAs, cell differentiation, and more.

Embryonic (ESCs) and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst and are capable of differentiating into each of the three primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm. Due to the limited availability of human ESCs, researchers devised a method of generating pluripotent stem cells from adult cells through genetic reprogramming. These cells are referred to as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and hold significant promise in the field of regenerative medicine and treatment of several diseases and disorders.

Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are bone marrow-derived multipotent stem cells that give rise to all the blood cell types from the myeloid and lymphoid lineages including monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, erythrocytes, megakaryocytes/platelets, dendritic cells, T cells, B cells, and NK cells.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stem cells derived from the mesoderm that can differentiate into a variety of cell types including: osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, and adipocytes. MSCs are now widely studied to determine their possible utility in tissue engineering, wound healing and other conditions in which regenerated cells can improve or resolve disease.

Neural Stem Cells (NSCs)

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are multipotent cells which give rise to neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes of the central nervous system. Neural stem cells are being researched as potential therapeutics for several neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.

In order to better phenotype stem cells at their various stages of development, it is important to know what markers they express (and don’t express) and having the right reagents at hand to detect them. This section gives a brief overview of common markers found on the various intermediate stages and indicates where markers may diverge between human and mouse equivalents. To see how these cells develop, view the full picture with our Stem Cell and Development Poster.
