Stem cells are responsible for maintaining tissue homeostasis. They possess unlimited self-renewal potency. Through asymmetric cell division, a stem cell in adult tissues can produce an offspring that will maintain the stem cell populations and a daughter cell that will differentiate into various short-lived cell types to replace damaged or dying cells. Tumors may originate from a few transformed cancer stem cells. Stem cells have immense potential for therapeutic use in regenerative medicine and for developing anticancer therapies that specifically eliminate cancer stem cells. Germline stem cells are the source of human and animal reproduction. The knowledge gained from studying ... Read more
