Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. Starting from a single MLH1-knockout human colon cell ...

With additional factors could we lead reprogramming back to a totipotent state, equivalent to that of the zygote? These and many more questions are destined to keep stem cell scientists busy for ...

How are these changes orchestrated in early human development? How is the oocyte reprogrammed to a totipotent state? What controls the first cell fate specifications in early human embryos? And why ...

This highly specialized, totipotent cell marked the beginning of each of us as a unique individual.” “A zygote is the beginning of a new human being (i.e., an embryo).” (Keith L. Moore ...

At this point, each of the eight cells is identical and totipotent, capable of developing into both the embryo and placenta. However, beyond this stage, while ESCs can still form all fetal cells ...

When the internal programs of the cells are turned on, the result is cells, that closely resemble real functional tissue cells. Stem cell plasticity A fertilized egg cell is totipotent and can produce ...

At this point, each of the eight cells is identical and totipotent, capable of developing into both the embryo and placenta. However, beyond this stage, while ESCs can still form all fetal cells ...

The zygote is the first embryonic stem (ES) cell. This cell is considered "totipotent"-meaning that it can produce any kind ...

Biocrust is totipotent, which means just a small piece of it can eventually give rise to new crust. Thus, one way of growing biocrusts in new areas is to crumble some up and sprinkle it on the ...
