Both cell junctions and cytoskeletal networks help stabilize tissue architecture. For instance, the cells that make up human epithelial tissue attach to one another through several types of ...

How is it that your body with all of its specialized organs developed from a single cell? Scientists are exploring how gene expression patterns and their timing regulate cell differentiation.

The nucleus of a germline stem cell undergoes two divisions, firstly separating homologous chromosomes and secondly separating chromatids. Haploid gametes contain 23 single chromosomes.

These are found in an early embryo. These cells are able to divide continuously. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent. This means that all of the genes in an embryonic stem cell can be expressed ...
