When cells express specific genes that characterise a certain type of cell we say that a cell has become differentiated. Once a cell becomes differentiated it only expresses the genes that produce ...

Within multicellular organisms, tissues are organized communities of cells that work together to carry out a specific function. The exact role of a tissue in an organism depends on what types of ...

These are found in an early embryo. These cells are able to divide continuously. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. This means that all of the genes in an embryonic stem cell can be expressed ...

Microscopists had known about cell division for more than one hundred ... slowly over long periods and yet initiate growth and differentiation when required. Other areas of current research ...

and persist throughout life through a cell division mechanism called self-renewal. Differentiation and self-renewal often go awry in blood cancer, or leukemia, to enable unlimited proliferation of ...

The questions of how the nutrition status of the gut controls stem cell division and differentiation, and how the nutrient ...

BSCC is equipped with basic cell culture equipment such as laminars, incubators, centrifuges and microscopes. The NiPS division is responsible for iPSC differentiation into different brain cell types.
