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.

Which T cell inhibits the activity of other T cells?

Regulatory T cells (Treg) suppress the action of other T cells. This inhibits immune responses to self-antigens, aiming to prevent the immune system from attacking normal self cells.


What are people who study cells are called?

People who study cells are called cell biologists. They specialize in the study of the structure, function, and behavior of cells, including how they interact with each other and their environment.


Where do all cells originate from?

primitive life consisted of RNA,which was a self replicating molecule.RNA molecule was surrounded by a lipoprotein vesicle and formed a primitive cell,which formed proteins.then the DNA molecule was produced from the RNA molecules by reverse transcription.then DNA replaced RNA as the genetic material.Likewise the first cell was formed that was coacervaetes.


What is the name of defence cell which are mobilised during humoral response?

The defense cells mobilized during the humoral response are primarily B cells. Upon activation, B cells differentiate into plasma cells, which produce antibodies that target specific antigens. This process is crucial for the adaptive immune response, helping to neutralize pathogens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells.


What are human cells always surrounded by?

Human cells are always surrounded by a cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane. This thin, semi-permeable barrier controls what enters and exits the cell, helping to maintain the cell's internal environment and regulate communication with other cells.
