2. Stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell

   To ensure self-renewal, stem cells undergo two types of cell division (see Stem cell division and differentiation diagram). Symmetric division gives rise to two identical daughter cells both endowed with stem cell properties. Asymmetric division, on the other hand, produces only one stem cell and a progenitor cell with limited self-renewal ...

3. Adult stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_stem_cell

   A stem cell possesses two properties: . Self-renewal is the ability to go through numerous cycles of cell division while still maintaining its undifferentiated state. Stem cells can replicate several times and can result in the formation of two stem cells, one stem cell more differentiated than the other, or two differentiated cells.

4. Endothelial stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothelial_stem_cell

   Endothelial stem cells (ESCs) are one of three types of stem cells found in bone marrow. They are multipotent, which describes the ability to give rise to many cell types, whereas a pluripotent stem cell can give rise to all types. ESCs have the characteristic properties of a stem cell: self-renewal and differentiation.

5. Hematopoietic stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematopoietic_stem_cell

   This process indicates that, subsequent to bone marrow transplantation, symmetrical cell divisions into two daughter hematopoietic stem cells must occur. Stem cell self-renewal is thought to occur in the stem cell niche in the bone marrow, and it is reasonable to assume that key signals present in this niche will be important in self-renewal. [2]

6. Asymmetric cell division - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_cell_division

   Disruption of asymmetric cell division leads to aberrant self-renewal and impairs differentiation, and could therefore constitute an early step in the tumorogenic transformation of stem and progenitor cells. In normal non-tumor stem cells, a number of genes have been described which are responsible for pluripotency, such as Bmi-1, Wnt and Notch.

7. Stem-cell line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_line

   By definition, stem cells possess two properties: (1) they can self-renew, which means that they can divide indefinitely while remaining in an undifferentiated state; and (2) they are pluripotent or multipotent, which means that they can differentiate to form specialized cell types. Due to the self-renewal capacity of stem cells, a stem cell ...
