The Journal of Pathology, 2002 AbstractThe clinical implications of understanding epidermal stem cell biology abound. Thousands of burns victims across the world have benefited from early research into the proliferation of epidermal keratinocytes in vitro. Advances now indicate there are a number of stem cell repositories within the epidermis, two of which, the interfollicular ...

Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2019 A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that can self-renew itself and can commit to a specific cell type. Depending on their residency, stem cells are classified into two main categories as embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. According to their differentiation and developmental potential, stem cells may be classified as totipotent, pluripotent,

Clinical Cancer Research, 2011 AbstractAdult stem cells are maintained in a quiescent state but are able to exit quiescence and rapidly expand and differentiate in response to stress. The quiescent state appears to be necessary for preserving the self-renewal of stem cells and is a critical factor in the resistance of cancer stem cells (CSCs) to chemotherapy and targeted therapies ...

The Journal of Pathology, 2002 AbstractMultipotent cells within the epithelial compartment, together with phenotypically ‘plastic’ mesenchyma cells (stromal stem cells), provide a repository of protected genetic information from which the structure, stability and functionality of the prostate gland can be maintained.

Pediatric Research, 2006 Cancer stem cells (CSC) are recently proposed to be the cancer initiating cells responsible for tumorigenesis and contribute to cancer resistance. Advances have been made in identifying and enriching CSC in leukemia and several solid tumors, including breast, brain and lung cancers.

Bone Marrow Transplantation, 2003 The adult vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) consists of four major differentiated cell types: neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells. Historically, there has been a disagreement on how these differentiated cell types are generated in the CNS. Progress remains hindered by the complexity of cell structure in this system, the lack

MicroRNAs, stem cells and cancer stem cells
World Journal of Stem Cells, 2012 This review discusses the various regulatory characteristics of microRNAs that are capable of generating widespread changes in gene expression via post translational repression of many mRNA targets and control self-renewal, differentiation and division of cells.
