Using molecular genetic methods, developmental biologists led by Ulrich Technau from the University of Vienna have now identified possible candidates for multipotent stem cells in the sea anemone ...
Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. NKX3.1-expressing intermediate Basal-B cells represent a ...
or ability to change into different kinds of cells. A one-week old embryo only contains multipotent stem cells, which can develop only in a certain direction. The tissues are finally made by these ...
One source is the "adult," or mature, stem cells that reside in the body from infancy onward. These cells are "multipotent," meaning they are able to produce a range of related tissues ...
Techniques that cause multipotent adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into cells of the chondrogenic lineage have led to a variety of experimental strategies to investigate ...
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 ...
Tissue stem cells are multipotent. This means that they can differentiate into any of the types of cell of the same tissue type. For example, blood stem cells found in bone marrow can ...
