متن کاملArtificial stem cell niches.
Stem cells are characterized by their dual ability to reproduce themselves (self-renew) and specialize (differentiate), yielding a plethora of daughter cells that maintain and regenerate tissues. In contrast to their embryonic counterparts, adult stem cells retain their unique functions only if they are in intimate contact with an instructive microenvironment, termed stem cell niche. In these n...
متن کاملEcological Niches and Diversity Maintenance
Why do some places have much higher diversity than others? Explaining patterns of species diversity on the earth is a problem of long-standing for ecologists. Numerous diversity patterns have been documented [1], but the mechanisms behind these patterns remain poorly understood. If we knew the mechanisms, surer decisions in conservation and management would be possible. Understanding can be sou...
متن کاملMechanistic and Correlative Models of Ecological Niches
2 Department of Integrative Biology, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74078 USA The suite of factors that drives where and under what conditions a species occurs has become the focus of intense research interest. Three general categories of methods have emerged by which researchers address questions in this area: mechanistic models of species’ requirements in terms of environment...
متن کاملBiomolecular Blocks for Artificial Stem Cell Niches
Introduction The expansion of adult stem cells in their undifferentiated phenotype is a crucial step for their use in regenerative medicine. However, the cell culture substrates currently available cannot ensure the control of the cell multi-potent characteristics. It has been suggested that artificial substrates mimicking the histological features of stem cell niches may provide an appropriate...
