Whenever stem cells are called upon to generate a particular type of cell, they undergo an asymmetric cell division. With asymmetric division, each of the two resulting daughter cells has its own ...

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.

“The idea that you could use electrical fields and 3D mechanical properties to impact stem cells without having to use different kinds of biomolecules or expensive growth factors to drive ...

to carry miRNA-124 and all-trans retinoic acid derivative to achieve efficient stem-cell transfection and neural differentiation.

In addition to mechanistic studies, his lab developed novel organ culture methods to direct differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into intestinal tissue to study intestinal development and ...

Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. This means that all of the genes in an embryonic stem cell can be expressed so they can give rise to all types of cell. They are important for growth.
