Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. Hidden by the womb, early human development remains cloaked ...
According to a new study, the scientists discovered possible multipotent stem cells in the anemone for the first time, which could point to how these creatures are able to successfully fight back ...
Eternal Life The central goal of medicine has always been to increase lifespan, often shortened by accidents or diseases, with an equally important secondary goal to preserve health in a broader sense ...
Following irradiation, the subgranule zone may no longer instruct multipotent stem cells to adopt a neuronal fate. If this were true, then one could overcome the deficit with transplants of ...
Calcineurin fine tunes the balance between proliferation and differentiation of Notch-responsive progenitors in the pancreatic ducts to enable beta cell regeneration in zebrafish.
This is an important piece of work that sheds light on our understanding of early lung development. There is solid evidence that there is a key new role for Svep1, which may be acting via FGF9. A more ...
Our laboratory studies the behavior of human auditory stem cells and is trying to develop a therapeutic approach to treat hearing loss. We have identified and isolated a population of multipotent otic ...
