Tissues are constructed from many distinct cell types that perform different functions in response to signals from each other and the extracellular matrix. During tissue development and tissue regeneration, ... that stem cells undergo when they are required to generate a particular type of cell?
Answer : Asymmetric cell division. After asymmetric division, each of the two resulting daughter cells has a unique life course. For example, one daughter cell may differentiate into a specific cell type ( ... cell), whereas the other daughter cell may remain a stem cell with unlimited proliferative ability....
