Stem Cells | Immature cells that can divide and differentiate into specialized cell types. |
Tissue | An organized group of different cell types that work together to carry out a particular function. |
Adult (Somatic) Stem Cells | Stem cells located in tissues that help maintain and regenerate those tissues. |
Cellular Differentiation | The process by which a cell specializes to carry out a specific role. |
Differential Gene Expression | The process by which genes are "turned on," or expressed, in different cell types. |
Multipotent | Describes a cell with the ability to differentiate into a limited number of cell types in the body. |
Embryonic Stem Cells | Stem cell that make up an early embryo and which can differentiate into nearly every cell type in the body. |
Blastocyst | The stage of embryonic development in which the embryo is a hollow ball of cells. Researchers can derive embryonic stem cell lines during the blastocyst stage. |
Pluripotent | Describes a cell with the ability to differentiate into nearly any cell type in the body. |
Totipotent | Describes a cell with the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body. |
