Stem cell fusion as an ultimate line of defense against xenobiotics.

Medical hypotheses - 1 Jan 2006

Padron Velazquez Julio Lazaro

Abstract excerpt

There are several indications that the potential of stem cells to fuse with somatic cells is extremely high and, what's more exciting, in some instances goes as far as reprogramming and/or rescuing altered cells. It remains unclear, however, how frequent this mechanism is and what patho-physiological role it might play in nature. A plausible hypothesis, discussed in this paper, suggests that stem cell niches...
