Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. The field of biogerontology has established itself through ...

Meibomian glands are critical to the ocular health in that they secrete lipid-rich meibum, which protects the ocular surface ...

The novel drug CT-179 ... How Healthy Stem Cells Turn Into Oral Cancer Feb. 4, 2025 — Researchers have identified the molecular and cellular mechanisms that transform healthy stem cells into ...

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) undergo self-renewal and differentiation in the bone marrow ... In the middle and terminal stages, oligopotent cells further divide into distinct unipotent cells ...

A group of immune proteins called the inflammasome can help prevent blood stem cells from becoming malignant by removing certain receptors from their surfaces and blocking cancer gene activity ...

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in multiple tissues, including umbilical cord, bone marrow and fat tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew by ...

The Oregon Stem Cell Center conducts basic and applied research in the field of Stem Cell Biology with the long term goal to harness the properties of stem cells for regenerative medicine and cell ...

Objectives Haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are multipotent cells giving rise to both myeloid and lymphoid cell lineages. We reasoned that the aberrancies of immune cells in systemic ...

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) originate from the reprogramming of adult somatic cells using four Yamanaka transcription factors. Since their discovery, the stem cell (SC) field achieved ...

Now, researchers at University of California San Diego have discovered how healthy stem cells are transformed into cancer stem cells in the earliest stages of the disease. Oral cancer — also known as ...
