Embryonic stem cells are seen by many researchers as having great potential because they can in theory be coaxed to create any kind of cell type in the body.
After several days, the ball of cells that results contains a blanket of embryonic stem cells endowed with the genetic material of the donor skin cell, which have the ability to generate every cell type from that donor.
That is, the cell could be "coached" into becoming any type of tissue or cell in the body.
The system the researchers tested used a type of solar cell known as dye-sensitized solar cells, a lightweight and inexpensive type where the active layer is composed of titanium dioxide, rather than the silicon used in conventional solar cells.
We sell every type of cell phone available as well as provide very competitive service pricing.
For this task they looked to the other type of cell with which they are familiar, yeast.
Embryonic stem cells are "blank" or undifferentiated cells that can develop into any type of cell in the body.
People with celiac disease usually have a certain type of cell surface receptor that helps set off the immune reaction.
Called "cyclic-di-GMP" it helps determine what type of cell it differentiates into.
C4 plants often absorb CO2 from the air in one type of cell and then convert it to sugars through photosynthesis in another.
Also in the cancer cluster were squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer, and throat cancer, but these had fewer genetic links between them.
They believe a single type of cell may be cancer's main growth engine:mutant stem cells that, though barely present, spawn other cells that then spark growth.
Under the right conditions, these cells can replenish themselves indefinitely in the laboratory, and they can, in theory, turn into any type of cell in the body.
They took a sample of human skin cells and converted it into stem cells, which are capable of becoming any other type of cell in the body.
They used stem cells from a human embryo, which are capable of becoming any other type of cell in the human body from nerve to skin, muscle to kidney.
Phosphorylation is a type of cell regulation involving the attachment to, or removal of, phosphate groups from proteins, thereby switching their biological functions on or off, or making them more or less stable.
On Monday, the 2012 prize for medicine or physiology was awarded to John Gurdon from the UK and Shinya Yamanaka from Japan for changing adult cells into stem cells, which can become any other type of cell in the body.
He was part of a team investigating the use of stem cells, which are able to become any other type of cell in the body from nerve to bone, taken from the amniotic fluid which surrounds a developing foetus in the womb.
With the help of Chiara Cirelli, who also works at the University of Wisconsin, Dr Tononi has created a mutant fruit fly that sleeps only two or three hours a night. (A normal fly sleeps between eight and 14 hours.) The mutation itself is in a gene for a nerve-cell protein of a type known as an ion channel.
The physical manifestations of the disease that Alois Alzheimer noticed in 1906 are sticky plaques of one type of protein, now known as beta-amyloid, and nerve-cell-engulfing tangles of a second type, called tau protein.
