Self-Renewal of Stem Cells
Asymmetric division is one of the most fundamental characteristics of adult stem cells , which ensures one daughter cell maintains stem cell status and the other daughter cell becomes committed to differentiation. New data emerged recently that allow us to conclude that asymmetric division has another important aspect: it enables self-maintenance of stem cells.
متن کاملCancer stem cells and self-renewal.
The cancer stem cell (CSC) or cancer-initiating cancer (C-IC) model has garnered considerable attention over the past several years since Dick and colleagues published a seminal report showing that a hierarchy exists among leukemic cells. In more recent years, a similar hierarchical organization, at the apex of which exists the CSC, has been identified in a variety of solid tumors. Human CSCs a...
متن کاملHighlight: self-renewal signaling in stem cells.
A number of ground-breaking studies recently identified sets of nuclear factors that together have the unique ability to ‘reset’ an adult differentiated cell type and to ‘erase’ all previous fate decisions and the transcriptional programs that determine phenotype and function of a differentiated cell (Takahashi et al., 2007; Wernig et al., 2007; Yu et al., 2007). As a result, ‘reprogrammed’ cel...
متن کاملAutophagy: pathways for self-eating in plant cells.
Plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to survive when in unfavorable environments. Autophagy is a macromolecule degradation pathway that recycles damaged or unwanted cell materials upon encountering stress conditions or during specific developmental processes. Over the past decade, our molecular and physiological understanding of plant autophagy has greatly increased. Most of the essen...
متن کاملSelf-renewal of neural stem cells: implications for future therapies
In 2011, Remboutsika et al. (2011) published an elegant paper in which they demonstrated the unique importance of Sox2 in self-renewal of neural stem cells (NSC) in vitro and in vivo. They demonstrated that Sox2 helps maintain the cortical identity of NSC ex vivo as evidenced by the expression of Pax6 and the nestinlinked epitope RC2. Only the Sox2+ cells isolated from Soxβ−geo/+ neurospheres w...
