51Cancer stem cell — Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a sub population of cancer cells (found within tumors or hematological cancers) that possess characteristics normally associated with stem cells. These cells are believed to be tumorigenic (tumor forming), in contrast …
52Neural stem cell — Latin cellula nervosa precursoria Code TH H2.00.01.0.00010 Neural stem cells (NSCs) are the self renewing, multipotent cells that generate the main phenotypes of the nervous system. In 1989, Sally Temple described multipotent, self renewing… …
53New York Stem Cell Foundation — The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF)[1] is a nonprofit organization founded in the Spring of 2005. NYSCF is dedicated to accelerating cures for the major diseases of our time through stem cell research. NYSCF opened the first privately… …
54Induced pluripotent stem cell — Induced pluripotent stem cells, commonly abbreviated as iPS cells or iPSCs, are a type of pluripotent stem cell artificially derived from a non pluripotent cell, typically an adult somatic cell, by inducing a forced expression of certain genes.… …
55Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight (ESCRO) Committees — The National Academies called for the establishment of Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight (ESCRO) Committees in its 2005 Guidelines for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research to manage the ethical and legal concerns in human embryonic stem cell… …
56neural stem cell — ▪ biology largely undifferentiated cell originating in the central nervous system (nervous system, human). Neural stem cells (stem cell) (NSCs) have the potential to give rise to offspring cells that grow and differentiate into neurons… …
57Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplant for Cartilage Growth — Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent cells found in multiple human adult tissues including bone marrow, synovial tissues, and adipose tissues. Since they are derived from the mesoderm, they have been shown to differentiate into bone,… …
58Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation — A new technique in which stem cells are obtained from a patient s blood and used in bone marrow transplantation. Stem cells are small, round cells with a squat nucleus and scant surrounding cytoplasm. Although unremarkable in appearance, stem… …
59Transplantation, peripheral blood stem cell — A new technique in which stem cells are obtained from a patient s blood and used in bone marrow transplantation. Stem cells are small, round cells with a squat nucleus and scant surrounding cytoplasm. Although unremarkable in appearance, stem… …
60Australian Stem Cell Centre — The Australian Stem Cell Centre the National Biotechnology Centre of Excellence is a research and development centre which focusses on regenerative medicine through the use of stem cells. It was founded in 2003, and has received over $100 million …
