Cell polarity, which consists of the morphological, structural, and functional organization of
cells along a defined axis, is a feature of healthy cells and tissues. In contrast, abnormal …

In contrast to the bulk of the tumor, a subset of cancer cells called cancer stem cells (CSC; or
tumor‐initiating cells) is characterized by self‐renewal, unlimited proliferative potential …

During cortical development and throughout adulthood, oligodendrocytes add myelin
internodes to glutamatergic projection neurons and GABAergic inhibitory neurons. In …

Asymmetric cell division (ACD) enables the maintenance of a stem cell population while
