Mechanisms that mediate stem cell self‐renewal and differentiation
23 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Stem cells have two common properties: the capacity for self-renewal and the potential to differentiate into one or more specialized cell types. In general, stem cells can be divided into two broad categories: adult (somatic) stem cells and embryonic stem cells.
