Stem Cells and Niches: Mechanisms That Promote Stem Cell Maintenance throughout Life
Niches are local tissue microenvironments that maintain and regulate stem cells. Long-predicted from mammalian studies, these structures have recently been characterized within several invertebrate tissues using methods that reliably identify individual stem cells and their functional requirements. Although similar single-cell resolution has usually not been achieved in mammalian tissues, princ...
متن کاملStem Cell Niches: Famished Paneth Cells, Gluttonous Stem Cells
Adult tissue stem cells adjust to environmental changes. A new study in the mouse intestine reveals that caloric restriction causes Paneth cells to repress mTORC1 signaling; this in turn stimulates proliferation of neighboring stem cells.
متن کاملStem Cells So far! Stem Cell Therapy Facts and Principles
Stem cells are cells with the ability to divide for indefinite periods and to give rise to specialized cells. Stem cell therapy has now been emerged as an extraordinary promise to treat a wide range of diseases and conditions. However, except blood stem cell transfer by bone marrow transplant which has been used as an standard practice for more than 50 years, nearly all of therapeutic potenti...

متن کاملPlant stem cell niches.
Stem cells are required to support the indeterminate growth style of plants. Meristems are a plants stem cell niches that foster stem cell survival and the production of descendants destined for differentiation. In shoot meristems, stem cell fate is decided at the populational level. The size of the stem cell domain at the meristem tip depends on signals that are exchanged with cells of the org...
