The team believe that not only do the growth factors play a key role in development of the central nervous system, but also that too much of them may disrupt the normal process by which a cell develops into the correct type and moves to the right area, and dies at the right time.

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.
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.
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.
There are two types of flash memory--the type that goes into cell phones and the other kind that goes into digital cameras.
C4 plants often absorb CO2 from the air in one type of cell and then convert it to sugars through photosynthesis in another.
Embryonic stem cells are "blank" or undifferentiated cells that can develop 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.
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.

It is thought that Parkinson's is linked to the death of a certain type of brain cell that produces a chemical called dopamine.
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.
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.
The gene produces a molecular sensor on the T cell that is designed to latch on to a telltale protein on the surface of that specific type of cancer.
It showed participants in the study who used a cell phone for 10 years or more had doubled the rate of brain glioma, a type of tumor.
This is partly due to defects in a particular type of specialised cell found in the pancreas.
The type of radiation coming out of a cell phone is called non-ionizing.
Scientists across the globe began conducting new experiments, finding newer, better ways to create this new type of stem cell, to coax new kinds of cellular transformation and to dream about the new therapies (and grants) they might pursue.
The other, which faces a specialised type of solar cell made of a material called indium gallium arsenide, is sculpted into a structure called a photonic crystal that causes it to emit infra-red radiation selectively at the frequency best absorbed by the cell.
Seventy-eight percent of patients with a particular type, squamous cell cancer, responded to the drug.
