What is the MS Molecular Biology and Microbiology or MBT?
A stem cell transplant would restore pancreatic cells to patients with this disease.
What is Type 1 diabetes?
These stem cells persist throughout one’s lifetime, although produce less pigment as we age.
What are hair follicle stem cells?
This environment is specific for each type of stem cell, and is comprised of factors including physical cues, protein or nuclei acid signaling molecular and requires physical proximity.
What is the niche?
This many genes are required to reprogram a skin cell into a pluripotent stem cell.

Stem cells in this organ are important for metabolism and removal of toxins and permit regeneration.
What is the liver?
This type of cell division produced daughter cells with distinct identities and often different cytoplasmic components.

Skin cells are used to make induced pluripotent stem cells to make dopaminergic neurons to treat this neurodegenerative disease.
What is Parkinson’s disease?
These cells form a constantly regenerating water-tight external barrier and keep pathogens out.
What is the skin / epidermis?
This feature of stem cells enabled adult stem cells to persist throughout the lifetime of adult mammals.
What is longevity/ being long lived?
