Multipotent to Pluripotent Properties of Adult Stem Cells
Stem cells have captured the attention of both researchers and the public alike because of the promise of tissue regeneration, drug screening, and organogenesis. Stem cells are broadly classified as embryonic or adult with differentiation capacities ranging from pluripotent and multipotent to unipotent. In general, pluripotent stem cells are ascribed to cells derived from the inner cell mass of...
متن کاملMultipotent adult stem cells
Catherine Verfaillie et al., have filed a patent for a stem cell found in the bone marrow of adults that can develop into every single tissue type in the body. It was thought until now that only embryonic stem cells were able to do this, but experiments detailed in the patent show that the cells, dubbed multipotent adult progenitor cells (MACPs) have the potential to do this. (Patent WO0111011,...
متن کاملTherapeutic Potential of Totipotent, Pluripotent and Multipotent Stem Cells
The discovery of stem cells opened up a whole new arena of research for scientists. And the realizations of their therapeutic potential, promises sustainable cure for previously untreated diseases. Stem cells may broadly be classified into totipotent, pluripotent and multipotent and each of these classes show enormous therapeutic function. Totipotent stem cells can differentiate into 200 cell t...
متن کاملCharacterizing the Radioresponse of Pluripotent and Multipotent Human Stem Cells
The potential capability of stem cells to restore functionality to diseased or aged tissues has prompted a surge of research, but much work remains to elucidate the response of these cells to genotoxic agents. To more fully understand the impact of irradiation on different stem cell types, the present study has analyzed the radioresponse of human pluripotent and multipotent stem cells. Human em...
متن کاملInduced Pluripotent Stem Cells: Challenges and Opportunities
Regenerative capacity of mammals is limited and can rarely regenerate a specific organ or tissue fully. Due to these limitations, regenerative medicine seeks efficient and safe cell sources for regeneration of damaged tissues and organs or treatment for incurable diseases. Human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) hold two important properties called self renewal and pluripotency. However, the use of ...
