Recent findings call for the critical overview of some incorrectly used plant cell and tissue
culture terminology such as dedifferentiation, callus, totipotency, and somatic …

Short-term symptomatic treatment and dose-dependent side effects of pharmacological
treatment for neurodegenerative diseases have forced the medical community to seek an …

Somatic embryogenesis is a type of plant cell totipotency where embryos develop from
nonreproductive (vegetative) cells without fertilization. Somatic embryogenesis can be …

Currently, two main cell culture models predominate pluripotent stem cell research:
embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Thanks to their …

The field of regenerative medicine is looking for a pluripotent/multipotent stem cell able to
differentiate across germ layers and be safely employed in therapy. Unfortunately, with the …

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are derived from the pre-implantation mammalian blastocyst.
At this point in time, the newly formed embryo is concerned with the generation and …

In multicellular organisms, oocytes and sperm undergo fusion during fertilization and the
resulting zygote gives rise to a new individual. The ability of zygotes to produce a fully …

Living organisms are constantly exposed to wide ranges of environmental cues. They react
to these cues by undergoing a battery of phenotypic responses, such as by altering their …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia, characterized by the
presence of plaques of amyloid beta and Tau proteins. There is currently no permanent cure …

Despite investigative interest, the artificial derivation of pluripotent stem cells remains
inefficient and incomplete reprogramming hinders its potential as a reliable tool in …
