近日，SCIENCE CHINA Life Sciences在线发表南京医科大学杨杨/王曦团队题为“Generation of transient totipotent blastomere-like stem cells by short-term high-dose Pladienolide B treatment”的研究论文，通过高浓度的剪接体抑制剂Pladienolide B(PlaB)， ...

Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. Reactivating adult cardiomyocyte proliferation is key to ...

When the internal programs of the cells are turned on, the result is cells, that closely resemble real functional tissue cells. Stem cell plasticity A fertilized egg cell is totipotent and can produce ...

This image illustrates the development of stem cells from the fertilization of an egg to the formation of different body systems. It shows how a fertilized egg (oocyte and sperm) becomes a totipotent ...

Not long ago, it was assumed that mammalian hearts were so differentiated that regeneration of cardiac tissue was not possible, but now an increasing amount of information suggests that the ...

From sea urchins to iPS cells Stem cell research originates from more than hundred years of research on developmental biology. In 1885, Hans Driesch showed that both cells of a two-cell sea urchin ...

After a sperm fertilizes an egg, the totipotent cell divides into a zygote ... up to seven days post fertilization. While stem cell-based embryo models greatly extend the ability to study this period ...

Some biologists see the beauty in their work. More than a few artists draw inspiration from the natural world. But stem cell researcher and artist linkurl:Ariel Ruiz ...
