An embryonic stem cell. In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka made a groundbreaking discovery that would win him the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine just six years later: he found a new way to ‘reprogramme’ adult, specialized cells to turn them into stem cells. These laboratory-grown stem cells are pluripotent – they can make any type of cell in the body - and are called induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells.
Only embryonic stem cells are naturally pluripotent. Yamanaka’s discovery means that theoretically any dividing cell of the body can now be turned into a pluripotent stem cell.
What else can I help you with?
What is The process by which cells become different types of cells?
We call this specialization or differentiation.
The parent cells different from ordinary body cells are called?
The parent cells that are different from ordinary body cells are called stem cells. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into different types of cells in the body through a process known as differentiation. They play a crucial role in growth, repair, and regeneration of tissues in the body.
What name is given to the process by which an organism develops from a single cell into may kinds of cells?
This process is called "cell differentiation." It is when cells become specialized to perform specific functions within an organism.
How do cells become specialized for different functions?
Cells become specialized through differentiation, which means that all cells within our body turn on and off the genes that are producing different proteins, thus making them responsible for specific functions.
What is the process of cells dividing into two identical cells?
This process is called mitosis.
What is The process by which cells become different types of cells?
We call this specialization or differentiation.
What is it called when cells change to become different kinds of cells to do different jobs?
Cellular Differentiation
What is the process through which cells in your body become different types of cells?
"Differentiation" is the word you are looking for.
What is the process of cell specialization called?
As the cell in a multi cellular organism multiply they become specialized or different functions in a process called cell differentiations. A short segment of DNA that contains instructions for the development of a single trait of gene.
The parent cells different from ordinary body cells are called?
The parent cells that are different from ordinary body cells are called stem cells. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into different types of cells in the body through a process known as differentiation. They play a crucial role in growth, repair, and regeneration of tissues in the body.
What is the process called when sex cells are made?
Sex Cells (called Gametes) are made by a process called Meiosis.
What name is given to the process by which an organism develops from a single cell into may kinds of cells?
This process is called "cell differentiation." It is when cells become specialized to perform specific functions within an organism.
What is the process when sex cells are made?
Sex Cells (called Gametes) are made by a process called Meiosis.
What name is given to the process by which an organisim develops from a single cell into many kinds of cells?
The process is called differentiation. During differentiation, cells become specialized for specific functions in the body through the activation of certain genes and the suppression of others in order to develop into different cell types.
How do cells become specialized for different functions?
Cells become specialized through differentiation, which means that all cells within our body turn on and off the genes that are producing different proteins, thus making them responsible for specific functions.
How do cells become different?
There are many ways in which cells become different. They could take the shape of many different kinds of things.
What is the process of cells dividing into two identical cells?
This process is called mitosis.
