Murine and Human-Purified very Small Embryonic-like Stem Cells (VSELs) Express Purinergic Receptors and Migrate to Extracellular ATP Gradient

Researchers reported that human umbilical cord blood and murine bone marrow purified VSELs expressed mRNA for P1 and P2 purinergic receptors and CD39 and CD73 ectonucleotidases converting extracellular ATP into its signaling metabolite extracellular adenosine.
