This general approach, known as lineage - tracing, has been a mainstay of classical developmental biology research and has greatly clarified knowledge of tissue stem cells during the last decade. (sciencedaily.com)
A novel mechanism — similar to how normal tissue stem cells respond to wounding — might explain why bladder cancer stem cells actively contribute to chemo - resistance after multiple cycles of chemotherapy drug treatment. (sciencedaily.com)
The researchers suggest that a single expandable embryonic lung progenitor population with broader developmental competence may eventually be used as an alternative for region - restricted adult tissue stem cells in regenerative medicine. (jax.org)
