For almost 30 years, the cell-surface protein CD34 has been widely used as a marker to assist in the identification and Summary isolation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitors in preparation for bone-marrow transplantation. In addition, it has increasingly been used as a marker to help identify other tissue-specific stem cells, including muscle satellite cells and epidermal precurs...

Inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) are a diverse group of signaling molecules that function in a wide range of cellular roles, from the inhibition of caspases to the promotion of cell-cycle progression. These diverse functions may well be linked to the many different domains that are contained within different proteins in the family. IAP family members were first described as inhibitors of apoptosi...

This paper is concerned with the problem of finding the minimax estimators of the scale parameter ? in a family of transformed chi-square distributions, under asymmetric squared log error (SLE) and modified linear exponential (MLINEX) loss functions, using the Lehmann Theorem [2]. Also we show that the results of Podder et al. [4] for Pareto distribution are a special case of our results for th...
