  • Patent number: 8241898
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the isolation, culture and use of highly regenerative somatic mammalian cells.

The cells are characterized as expressing one or more markers selected from E-cadherin, integrin ?1, CXCR4, CD90 and CD34, and may be selected on the basis of such expression patterns.
