Stem cell


Stem cell
[L. cella - compartment]. An undifferentiated cell that is mitotically active in either replacing dying body cells (somatic stem cell) or producing gametes (germinal stem cell).

Stem cells are cells that divide by mitosis to form either
two stem cells, thus increasing the size of the stem cell "pool",
or
one daughter that goes on to differentiate, and
one daughter that retains its stem-cell properties.

Stem cells are primal undifferentiated cells that retain the ability to divide and differentiate into other cell types. In higher plants this function is the defining property of the meristematic cells.

Stem cells can be found in all adult and young adult beings. Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells that reproduce daily to provide certain specialized cells-for example 200 billion red blood cells are created each day in the body from ...

The construct is then taken up by embryonic stem cells, where the engineered copy of the gene replaces the organism's own gene. These stem cells are injected into blastocysts, which are implanted into surrogate mothers.

This laborious method involves transfecting a crippled gene into cultured embryonic stem cells, searching through the thousands of resulting clones for one in which the crippled gene exactly replaced the normal one (by homologous recombination), ...

After the cells were replaced, many of the cells contained the gene. White blood cells, however, are short-lived and a long-term solution is to apply this technique to the cells that produce the white blood cells (called stem cells).
