  • The gene Igf2bp2 is important in youth for the full function of these cells, as it activates their growth and metabolism. (idw-online.de)
  • When the gene is missing, however, the aging-associated loss of function of the stem cells is surprisingly diminished. (idw-online.de)
  • The eventual aging of hematopoietic stem cells is apparently already preprogrammed by their gene-driven growth in youth. (idw-online.de)
  • This suggests that Igf2bp2 gene function in early life leads to the aging of the stem cells. (idw-online.de)
  • The Igf2bp2-gene drives growth and metabolic activity at a young age but these activities contribute to the age-associated loss of hematopoietic stem cell function in later life. (idw-online.de)
  • 2. Nuclear transfer is a technique used to duplicate genetic material by creating an embryo through the transfer and fusion of a diploid cell in an enucleated female oocyte.2 Cloning has a broader meaning than nuclear transfer as it also involves gene replication and natural or induced embryo splitting (see Annex 1).

  • Published on June 11, 2020, in the journal Nature , the report describes a method of using human embryonic stem cells to generate a three-dimensional assembly of cells, called gastruloids, which differentiate into three layers organized in a manner that resembles the early human body plan. (scitechdaily.com)
  • However, these models may behave differently from human embryos when the cells start to differentiate. (scitechdaily.com)
  • But going in the opposite direction, causing stem cells to differentiate into specialized body cells, not to mention form entire organs, has proved much more problematic. (disabled-world.com)
