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 ...
for example bone marrow transplants, corneal transplants, and skin grafts for burns. Stem cells have also been used as model cells to study how diseases develop or for drug testing.
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 ...
A stem-cell derived human embryo model showing blue cells (embryo), yellow cells (yolk sac) and pink cells (placenta). Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo ...
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 ...
