Oligodendrocytes are particular useful types of cell for treatment in conditions such as ataxia,brain injuries,ALS,motor neuron disease and spinal cord damage. [1] Oligodendrocytes are also helpful for neural function in that it provides insulation through the myelin sheath. For instance, in our treatments of autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, considerable damage in the myelin sheath may be damaged, which exposes the neural cell underneath …
Progenitor cells are the interim oligopotent cell formed during the differentiation process from stem cell state to the target cell variant. Video Lecture About Progenitor cells multipotent progenitor cells are not classified under a cell category because their capacity to renew is relatively small, as opposed to stem cells that have the capability to divide infinitely like immortal strands. The stem …
An Ectoderm is a body of cells forming the outermost layer of major organ systems in the body, such as the skin, neural cells and nervous system, and the sensory organs. This layer is formed by the blastocyst’s inner cell mass.[1] The cells of various germ layers can differentiate themselves [2] through lab culturing to try to regenerate and repair diseased organs …
Stochastic differentiation refers to the process in which a stem cell undergoes division, giving rise to two daughter cells that are differentiated.[1] On the other hand, another stem cell goes through the process of differentiation or mitosis to generate two stem cells that are similar to its original cell state, thereby maintaining stem cell number.[2] This process of differentiation is …
Clonogenic assay is otherwise also referred to as a “colony formation,” [1] this pertains to an in vitro process or survival analysis in order to determine a single cell’s capability to form a specific colony [2]. A colony refers to fifty cells or more. This process is particularly useful in analyzing the effects of ionization and cytotoxic agents upon the …
UPDATED September 04, 2020 – The iliac crest is a prominent thick curved bone located in the upper border of the ilium near the pelvis. The iliac crest gets its name from it concave shape, that rounds inward, convex in back area and rounding outward. The iliac crest is that stretch of space posteriorly running from the anterior superior iliac …
