Although unequal division occurs among stem cells — allowing one daughter cell to remain a stem cell while the other matures into another cell type, such as a skin or muscle cell — the goal of a normal symmetric cell division is to generate identical daughter cells and increase cell number.

The protein built from the gene was abundant while the cells were proliferating but abruptly disappeared when the cells began to differentiate, or turn into other types of cells.

While it is generally accepted that MSC are mostly quiescent during postnatal life, MSCs in different niches can presumably differentiate into the specific cells of closely related niches during physiological turnover, injury or disease, as shown for other stem cell types (e.g., muscle satellite cells).

Until now, however, achieving a similar feat in human cells has eluded scientists — partly because activating iNKT cells released different types of cytokines: some stimulated an immune response, while others inhibited it.

Activated ERK1 / 2 modulates the functions of several transcription factors, protein kinases, protein phosphatases, cytoskeletal proteins, signaling molecules, apoptosis - related proteins, as well as other types of proteins [32], while activated AKT modulates the function of numerous substrates involved in the regulation of cell survival, cell cycle progression and cellular growth [33, 34], whereas JNK acts as pro-apoptotic as well as anti-apoptotic depending on the conditions [35].

Multicellular organisms like plants and animals are complex co-operative structures made of many specialized cell types, while a single yeast cell can survive and proliferate without the help of others.
