The rarity of adult stem cells relative to their differentiated daughter cells has, however, made them historically difficult to study.
Long-disputed theory about stem cell populations is resolved
It also determines which of two daughter cells remains a stem cell and which will become a progenitor cell to replace or repair damaged tissue.
Stem cells use signal orientation to guide division, study shows
To multiply and generate new tissues, stem cells divide into two daughter cells, which are not necessarily identical: the daughter cells can differentiate to produce various cell types that are essential to proper tissue function, a process known as cell diversification.
Scientists discover mechanism that controls stem cell differentiation
But each time a stem cell divides, only one daughter cell matures into a specific cell type.
Cells' root: adult stem cells have a master gene
They are "telling" the stem cell when to produce more stem cells or when to produce daughter cells that will be the workhorses for that tissue or organ.
Fruit fly sperm cells reveal intricate coordination in stem cell replication
Washington, July 6 ( ANI ): During the process of mammalian cell division, or mitosis, a mother cell divides equally into two daughter cells, according to conventional biology.
Single cancer cell can produce up to 5 daughter cells
Her strategy relies on proteins produced in a daughter cell when it buds off from its mother cell.
The sum of the parts: synthetic biologists string genes into living machines
We found that stem cells segregate their old mitochondria to the daughter cell that will differentiate, whereas the new stem cell will receive only young mitochondria," said Pekka Katajisto at BI.
Stem cells age-discriminate organelles to maintain stemness
Thus, each daughter cell would begin life no more or less worn out than the mother had been.
A Bug's Life: E. coli can't escape old age
Centromeres are key structural features of chromosomes that are necessary for the movement of chromosomes when cells divide, a function that ensures normal distribution of all genetic material to each daughter cell.
Domestic horse genome sequenced
Such a structure hinted at the solution to another major riddle of biology: how a dividing cell copies its DNA so each daughter cell gets identical genetic information.
Happy anniversary: fifty years after Watson and Crick's insight, scientists continue to take a close look at DNA's double helix
The research team have also found that, under normal conditions, vesicles or tiny bubbles containing the Notch activating protein Delta travel to the top of the daughter cell to a structure rich in actin.
