2. Stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell

   Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] In multicellular organisms, stem cells are undifferentiated or partially differentiated cells that can change into various types of cells and proliferate indefinitely to produce more of the same stem cell. They are the earliest type of cell in a cell lineage. [1] They are found in both embryonic and ...

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. Stem-cell therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_therapy

   Another stem-cell therapy, called Prococvhymal, was conditionally approved in Canada in 2012 for the management of acute graft-vs-host disease in children who are unresponsive to steroids. [9] It is an allogenic stem therapy based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the bone marrow of adult donors. MSCs are purified from the marrow ...

5. Cellular differentiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_differentiation

   Cell-count distribution featuring cellular differentiation for three types of cells (progenitor , osteoblast , and chondrocyte ) exposed to pro-osteoblast stimulus. [1] Cellular differentiation is the process in which a stem cell changes from one type to a differentiated one. [2][3] Usually, the cell changes to a more specialized type.

6. Induced pluripotent stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_pluripotent_stem_cell

   Induced pluripotent stem cells (also known as iPS cells or iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from a somatic cell. The iPSC technology was pioneered by Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi in Kyoto, Japan, who together showed in 2006 that the introduction of four specific genes (named Myc, Oct3/4, Sox2 ...

7. Plant stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem_cell

   Plant stem cells. Plant stem cells are innately undifferentiated cells located in the meristems of plants. [1] Plant stem cells serve as the origin of plant vitality, as they maintain themselves while providing a steady supply of precursor cells to form differentiated tissues and organs in plants. [2][failed verification] Two distinct areas of ...
