What controls the way stem cells divide and differentiate?
Fernandajimenezz123
Ultimately their genetics. However various genes get turned off at programmed times by methylation of the DNA while others get turned on at programmed times by demethylation of the DNA. The methylated/demethylated forms of the DNA are passed on to the stem cell's descendants so they "retain their programmed state" and thus their identity following differentiation. Some of this program control is influenced by the concentrations of various chemicals secreted by other cells in the vicinity of the stem cell or its descendants.

Stem cells in human bone marrow divide and differentiate to form various what?
blood cells
What is stem cells-?
Sometimes the bird is able to develop a new migratory pattern, but often the bird will become confused, lost and die as a result. Stem cells are biological cells found in all multicellular organisms, that can divide (through mitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. www.stem-cell-regeneration.com/about
Why can stem cells be used to treat paralysis?
stem cells can differentiate into nerve or muscle cells
All cells are stem cells or not?
They were at one point, but as they grow they differentiate and can no longer be counted as stem cells.
What makes embryonic stem cells useful for medecine?
they can differentiate into more cells than adult stem cells can.

Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cell stem cells instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
What makes embryoic stem cells useful for medicine?
They can differentiate into more cells than adult stem cells can.
What makes embryonic stem cells useful for medecine?
they can differentiate into more cells than adult stem cells can.
Are stem cells unspecialized?
Yes, stem cells are unspecialized cells that have the potential to develop into different types of specialized cells in the body. They can divide and replicate to produce more stem cells, or they can differentiate into specific cell types depending on the signals they receive from their environment.
Why do cell researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells?
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
Cells that retain the ability to divide continuously without specializing are called?
Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.
What makes embryonic stem cell useful for medication?
they can differentiate into more cells that adult stem cells can
What type of stem cells can differentiate into the most type of cells?
Totipotent
