Pluripotent Stem Cells: Current Understanding and Future Directions
Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to undergo self-renewal and to give rise to all cells of the tissues of the body. However, this definition has been recently complicated by the existence of distinct cellular states that display these features. Here, we provide a detailed overview of the family of pluripotent cell lines derived from early mouse and human embryos and compare them with indu...
متن کاملPituitary stem cells: review of the literature and current understanding.
BACKGROUND The existence of pituitary stem cells in the adult pituitary gland is supported by such findings as postnatal proliferation, differentiation based on environmental alterations, and development of hormone-producing cells after specific lesions in the pituitary. OBJECTIVE We discuss which cells in the adult pituitary gland might play a role as pituitary stem cells, the potential for ...
متن کاملGastrointestinal stem cells. II. Intestinal stem cells.
Current views of the identity, distribution, and regulation of small intestinal epithelial stem cells and their immediate progeny are discussed. Recent works implicating Wnt signaling in stem and progenitor proliferation, the involvement of Notch signaling in epithelial lineage specification, and the role of hedgehog and bone morphogenetic protein families in crypt formation are integrated. We ...
متن کاملPutative intestinal stem cells
A heterogeneous set of intestinal stem cells markers has been described in intestinal glands but the ultrastructural identity of intestinal stem cells remains unknown. By using electron microscopy, this study demonstrated the presence of cells with stem morphology in the intestinal glands of mice of different ages. These putative intestinal stem cells have large, euchromatic, irregular shaped n...
متن کاملIntestinal Stem Cells: Got Calcium?
Calcium ions are well-known intracellular signalling molecules. A new study identifies local cytoplasmic calcium as a central integrator of metabolic and proliferative signals in Drosophila intestinal stem cells.
