Sentences with phrase «mature embryonic stem cells»

Mature embryonic stem cells cultivated in the laboratory can, under the right conditions, be backed up in their development to the more immature stem cell type.

Not exact matches

Germ cells from a mature animal can be reset to embryonic form; these are the famous «embryonic stem cells.»

During embryonic development of mice, however, the situation is different: To build up the system, all mature blood and immune cells develop much more rapidly and almost completely from stem cells.

«Although we can now induce embryonic stem cells to become heart cells, getting them to mature to an adult - like state remains a significant challenge,» said Hannele Ruohola - Baker, University of Washington professor of biochemistry and senior author of the paper.

Semenza says methylation leads to the destruction of NANOG's mRNA so that no protein is made, which in turn causes the embryonic stem cells to abandon their stem cell state and mature into different cell types.

All stem cells are immature cells known for their ability to multiply indefinitely and give rise to progenitor cells that mature into specific cell types that populate the body's tissues during embryonic development.

As an alternative to harvesting them from embryos, scientists can also obtain pluripotent stem cells by treating mature somatic cells with a cocktail of transcription factors to regress them so that they are nearly as flexible as embryonic stem cells.

Mouse embryonic stem cells were turned into something resembling spermatids, the round cells that mature into sperm, by Jiahao Sha of Nanjing Medical University in China and his team.

The study results, published in the journal Cell, revolve around iPSCs, which since their 2006 discovery have enabled researchers to coax mature (fully differentiated) bodily cells (e.g. skin cells) to become like embryonic stem cells.

They successfully converted mature mouse skin cells into what they called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells that had the same wide - open potential as embryonic stem cells — which the researchers showed by turning their iPS cells into nerve and connective tissue cells.

Towards our goals we study retinal cells throughout their life, from embryonic stem cells to retinal progenitors to differentiating and mature neurons and glia — with one eye on neuronal regeneration (meaning de-novo neurogenesis) in the mammalian retina — and with another eye on retinal disease pathomechanisms.

The molecules central to this balancing act, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, are among the so - called epigenetic modifications that influence the activity patterns of genes in both human embryonic stem (ES) cells and mature human adult cells.
