Maksimow: In 1908 this Russian histologist proposed the term stem cell for scientific use (last name only)
Totipotent: Omnipotent
Pluripotent: ___ cells can differentiate into nearly any cell or cells derived from any of the three germ layers
Somatic: Dolly was cloned from this type of stem cell
Embryonic: These stem cells are isolated from blastocysts
Potency: The capacity to differentiate into specialized cell types
Selfrenewal: ___ is the term to describe the ability to go through numerous cycles of cell division while maintaining an undifferentiated state
Blastocoel: The fluid-filled cavity inside the blastocyst
Differentiation: The process whereby an unspecialized cell acquires the features of a specialized cell
Ectoderm: The ___ is the outermost germ layer
Endoderm: The ___ is the innermost germ layer
Hematopoietic: These stem cells give rise to all blood cell types
Mesenchymal: A term that is currently used to define non-blood adult stem cells from a variety of tissues
Transdifferentiation: The process by which stem cells from one tissue differentiate into cells of another tissue
Trophoblast: The outer cell layer of a blastocyst
Teratoma: A multi-layered benign tumor that grows from pluripotent cells injected into mice with a dysfunctional immune system
Proliferation: Expansion of the number of cells by the continuous division of single cells
Regenerative: Medical interventions that aim to repair damaged organs, most often by using stem cells to replace cells and tissues, is known as ___ medicine
Zygote: Cell division begins after the ___ forms
CellLine: Cells that can be maintained and grown in a culture and display an immortal or indefinite life span (two words)
Cord: In addition to embryos and adult tissues, another source for stem cells is ___ blood
Progenitor: ___ cells are early descendants of stem cells that can differentiate but cannot self-renew
