If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells. Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults as adult stem cells.
Lessons learned from these two model organisms also apply to cells that divide asymmetrically in other metazoans, such as self-renewing stem cells in mammals. Asymmetric cell division is crucial ...
Mitosis is a type of cell division which ensures that, when a cell divides, each new cell produced has the same genetic information. Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be ...
Resolving how cell of origin affects pathways that govern progression of precancerous lesions will ultimately allow us to develop methods to detect PDAC early, which is arguably the most important ...
