| Pronunciation (US): |  | (GB): | |

Sense 1
Meaning:
An undifferentiated cell whose daughter cells may differentiate into other cell types (such as blood cells)
Classified under:
Hypernyms ("stem cell" is a kind of...):
somatic cell; vegetative cell (any of the cells of a plant or animal except the reproductive cells; a cell that does not participate in the production of gametes)
Hyponyms (each of the following is a kind of "stem cell"):
hematopoeitic stem cell (blood forming stem cells in the bone marrow; T cells and B cells arise from these stem cells)
Context examples:
SU6668 also inhibits the phosphorylation of the stem cell factor receptor tyrosine kinase c-kit, often expressed in acute myelogenous leukemia cells.
(Orantinib, NCI Thesaurus)
Lymphomas that occur after bone marrow or stem cell transplantation are usually B-cell NHLs.
(NHL, NCI Dictionary)
A population of cells derived from adipose tissue with stem cell and wound repair activities.
(Adipose-Derived Regenerative Cells, NCI Thesaurus)
The regimen consists of chemotherapy with or without radiation and is intended to kill cancerous cells before the transplantation and to provide immunosuppression to prevent the rejection of the donor's stem cells.
(Allogeneic Conditioning, NCI Thesaurus)
Infusion of these CTLs into stem cell transplant recipients may prevent CMV and AdV viral disease.
(Allogeneic CMV/AdV-Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes, NCI Thesaurus)
This allele, which encodes homeobox protein NANOG, plays a role in both the modulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and the establishment of embryonic stem cell pleuripotency.
(NANOG wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)
Donor T cell therapy may help control transplant-related viral infections following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
(Allodepleted Haploidentical T Cells-expressing Inducible Caspase 9, NCI Thesaurus)
A procedure in which a person receives stem cells (cells from which all blood cells develop) from a genetically similar, but not identical, donor.
(Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, NCI Dictionary)
This gene plays a role in the underlying pluripotency of inner cell mass and embryonic stem cells.
(NANOG Gene, NCI Thesaurus)
