Adult Stem Cells

Intro

QuestionAnswer
WHAT ARE STEM CELLS? UNDIFFERENTIATED CELLS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DIVIDE AND PRODUCE MORE STEM CELLS.
WHAT DOES THE DIVISION AND A STEM CELL PRODUCE? TWO DAUGHTER CELLS. 1 STAYS A STEM CELL TO REPRODUCE. THE OTHER CAN BECOME A CELL TYPE IN THE BODY.
TOTIPOTENT CELLS... ARE STEM CELLS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DIVIDE AND EVENTUALLY FORM A COMPLETE ORGANISM/INDIVIDUAL.
TOTIPOTENT CELLS ARE FOUND... IN EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS UNTIL 8TH CELL STAGE
PLURIPOTENT CELLS... ARE STEM CELLS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DEVELOP INTO ANY CELL WITHIN THE BODY.
PLURIPOTENT CELLS ARE FOUND... LATE STAGE EMBRYOS, BLOOD UMBILICAL CORD, AND PARTS OF THE PLACENTA
MULTIPOTENT CELLS... ARE ADULT STEM CELLS (SOMATIC/BODY) THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO GROW, BUILD, MAINTAIN, AND REPLACE INJURED CELLS AND TISSUE.
ADULT STEM CELL RESEARCH LOCATIONS, REGULATIONS OF DIVISION/DIFFERENTIATION, POTENTIAL FOR TRANSPLANTATION, RELOCATION TO INJURED TISSUES
STEM CELL NICHES... ARE LOCATIONS INN THE BODY WHERE ADULT STEM CELLS RESIDE, RETAIN THE ABILITY TO DIVIDE AND REMAIN UNSPECIALIZED.
INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS (IPS) ARE STEM CELLS MADE IN THE LAB, CONSIST OF 4 GENES (OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4,C-MYC) THAT CAN REPROGRAM MATURE SKINS CELLS INTO IPS.
POTENTIAL STEM CELL THERAPIES... -MOUSE EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS WITH DIABETES I -HUMAN ASC TREATMENTS IN MICE HEART DAMAGE, STERILITY, PARALYSIS -ASC TAKEN FROM THE ARE HELPED W/URINARY INCONTINENCE.
IPS THERAPIES IN MICE... -REPAIR OF HEART MUSCLE -SICKLE CELL -PARKINSON'S DISEASE
TISSUE ENGINEERING... PRODUCE SPECIALIZED CELLS, TISSUES, OR ORGANS TO REDUCE SHORTAGES AND ELIMINATE TRANSPLANT REJECTION.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
