A stem cell differentiates by making protein. The stem cell slowly changes itself into a specific cell type when it makes protein.

How do stem cells maintain their populations within tissues that consists of differentiated cells?

Stem cells divide through mitosis making two cells known as daughter cells. One daughter cell becomes a stem cell and the other cell differentiates into, or turns into, the tissue the stem cell is meant to maintain.


What is a cell that can make different types of cells?

A stem cell is a cell that can differentiate into different types of cells. Stem cells have the ability to develop into specialized cell types, making them crucial for growth, repair, and regeneration in the body.


What is the process by which a stem cell a stem cell becomes a specific type of cell called?

A


Why natural killer cells are granulocytes and T cells and B cells agranulocytes although both have common progenitors?

Please be patient with me. I've had to look this up. It appears that the blood cells differentiate from a common stem cell. They differentiate into two stem cells: 1. a myeloid stem cell. The myeloid stem cell matures into a CFU-GEMM progenitor cell which farther differentiates into five progenitors for eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, monocyte, platelets, and red blood cells and 2. The lymphoid stem cell then differentiates into pro B and pro T cells and on to B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. I believe it is the T lymphocyte which is known as the killer cell. There are many steps in this process and two of the cells also become tissue cells. However, getting back to your original question; there is some process as cells differentiate, (become different cells), from a common stem cells that turns some genes on and other genes off. All cells have the same DNA within the same organism, but some genes or turned off in some cells.

What is hemocytoblast?

A hemocytoblast, also known as a hematopoietic stem cell, is a multipotent stem cell found in the bone marrow responsible for the production of all blood cell types. It differentiates into various lineages, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Hemocytoblasts play a crucial role in the body's ability to regenerate blood and maintain the immune system. Their proper function is essential for overall health and homeostasis.


When a B or T cell is primed by an interaction with its particular antigen the cell does what?

Why are stem cells better than other cells for helping people?

Stem cells are undifferentiated, which means that they can become anything. A skin cell is only a skin cell, a nerve cell is only a nerve cell, and a skin cell can't do what a nerve cell does, or vice versa. But a stem cell can become either a skin cell or a nerve cell, or any other cell your body has.


What type of stem cell that makes fat and bone?

Technically, a stem cell is a type of cell that can be transformed into any type of cell, so any type of stem cell can be transformed into a cell that makes fat and/or bone...


Why are stem cell research not a good idea?

You are making the assumption that stem cell research is in the first place a bad idea. You have made your mind up about it and are only now searching for information to validate that gut feeling. But don't sweat it. Its actually human instinct to do this. A better question would be, "is stem cell research good or bad and why?"
