1 stem cell Flashcards
(33 cards)
stem cells different from other cells in the body in 3 ways?
they can divide and renew themselves over a long time
they are unspecialized so they cannot do specific function in the body
they have the potential to become specialized cells such as muscle ;blood ;brain cells
studying stem cells may help explain how serious conditions such as?
birth defects
and cancer come about
stem cells may one day help in many diseases ?
parkinsons di
alzheimer di
spinal cord injury
heart di
diabetes
arthritis
what are the 2 types of stem cells?
embryonic stem cell
adult stem cell
stem cells based on differentiation potential?
totipotent
pluripotent
multipotent
oligopotent
unipotent
stem cells based on origin?
embryo
fetal
perinatal
adult
ips
what is the highest potential in stem cell?
totipotent stem cell possess
and they can generate all cell tupes in the body
which stem cells are slightly more specialized and can differentiate into cells from the three germ layers ectoderm endoderm mesoderm
pluripotent stem cells
pluripotent stem cells are present ?
in embryos during the blatocyst stage and certain adult tissue
which stem cells have more limited potential ?
multipotent stem cells
mysenchymal stem cells are example of which type of stem cell
and they are capable of differentiating into a range of cell types
multipotent
osteoblasts
chondrocytes
myocytes
adipocytes
which one is the most restricted?
unipotent
which cell is reprogramed and share similar characteristec with pluripotent?
induced pluripotent stem cells into various cell types in the body
The first embryonic cells that arise from the division of the zygote are the ultimate stem cells; these stems cells are described؟?
totipotentbecause they have the potential to differentiate into any of the cells needed to enable an organism to grow and develop
The embryonic cells that develop from totipotent stem cells and are precursors to the fundamental tissue layers of the embryo are classified as ?
pluripotent they cannot support the full development of an organism
red and white blood cells multipotent
lineage
specialized and can only reproduce to generate more of its own specific cell type?
unipotent
The process of hematopoiesis
involves?
the differentiation of multipotent
The multipotent
hematopoietic stem cells give rise
to many different cell types,
including?
the cells of the immune
system and red blood cells.
STEMCELLSPotentialTherapiesusingStemCells
adult stem cell therapies
embryonic ste cell therapies
induced pluripotent stem cell therapies
there is potential in reprogramming ASCs to cause them to transdifferetiate :
turn back into different cell type than the resident tissue it was replenishing
embryonic stem cell therapies ?
include diabetes, spinal cord injury, muscular
dystrophy, heart disease, and vision/hearing loss.
human adult stem cell were used in the first successful bone marrow transplant
in 1968
What are Embryonic Stem Cells?
Embryonic stem cells are specialized cells derived from 3-to-5-day-old human embryos that are obtained through in-vitro fertilization in a laboratory setting
