Chromosomes are the building block of all life. A Chromosome basically carries all of the vital information needed for our bodies to be able to grow cells,reproduce and survive. Chromosomes that contains DNA, as well as some regulatory proteins. Chromosomes are normally found in the nuclei of cells. [1] What Are Chromosomes? There are 46 chromosomes in the human body or …
UPDATED July 06, 2020 All cells have to eventually duplicate. in nature, there are 2 main methods of cell duplication. Mitosis and Meiosis. The Process of Mitosis – VIDEO Mitosis is the exact opposite of cell duplication through meiosis where the chromosome population is split in half. [1] This fundamental process of cell division allows for each new cell to …
A Stem cell niche pertains to the particular tissue area where stem cells exist. The actual word ‘niche’ means the medium was “live” in vivo or in a lab or in-vitro microenvironment. [1] Recent journals and clinical studies on Mesenchymal cells from diverse systems have shown that stem cell function is controlled by extracellular cues from the niche and by …
Long-term self-renewal in regen medicine refers to the capability stem cells have for self-replication through continuous division. The result of this natural regeneration cycle is common amongst certain types of non-specialized cells. The process of self-renewing usually occurs over a long period (that could even run for years), and the length and rate of self-renewal is determined on the specific …
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a procedure in which the nucleus of an adult or somatic cell is inserted into an enucleated egg for the creation of an embryo. In-Vivo a nucleus, which contains a persons DNA, somatic cell is removed from its vessel and the rest of the cell cultures are discarded. Somatic cells are found in adult stem …
Oligopotent cell lines have the ability to transform into quite a limited number of several other types of cells, an example of which is a myeloid cells,B cells, T cells, plasma cells or the cells comprising the lymphoid system. An example of Oligopotent Cells are myeloid cell can differentiate into any of the blood stem cells found in the lymphatic system. Lymphoid …
