Biologists have shed light on how stem cells grow, mature and differentiate into blood cells in the lymph gland and other organs of fruit fly larvae 1. Besides elucidating the early-stage ...

Fruit Fly Stem Cells Filmed Live Date: June 9, 2009 Source: CNRS (Délégation Paris Michel-Ange) Summary: How can stem cells be used in regenerative medicine?

These cell banks give the fly a reserve of stem cells to draw on later to create and replenish organs, make new cells or repair wounds. A stem cell in the fruit fly gut divides, creating a ...

Researchers have found that mature, specialized cells naturally regress to serve as a kind of de facto stem cell during the fruit-fly life cycle. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email.

These same genes may also maintain long-term stem cell functions. Stem cells can divide and renew themselves over a long period of time and are kind of like a skeleton key.

Little hints of immortality are lurking in the stem cells of fruit flies. Stem cells that produce sperm use a genetic trick to stay perpetually young across generations, researchers at the ...

However, the researchers noticed the fruit flies’ lifespans extended when HRJDs were expressed in intestinal stem cell lineages after development. “HRJDs promoted greater intestinal stem cell division ...

Neural stem cells are the source of the brain’s primary functional cells. After the initial development of the brain, neural stem cells typically enter a dormant state, conserving energy and resources ...

Researchers studying stem cells in fruit flies have discovered an “unexpected” link between a specific protein and infertility, which could have relevance for humans. Academics in NUI Galway ...

In the ongoing controversy regarding stem cell research, do many people know the facts to form a conviction? It is not a matter of should we proceed with this form Stem cells: ResearchÞs ...
