Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. Modelling definitive haematopoiesis in organoids has been ...

The plasticity of stem cells, or their ability to change into other cells, declines as the degree of specialization increases. A unipotent stem cell can develop into only one type of cell. During the ...

Neuroscientists have uncovered a mechanism that controls the reactivation of neural stem cells, which are crucial for repairing and regenerating brain cells. The research offers exciting potential for ...
