Nov 22, 2016 · As genes recombine inside the cell, the cell elaborates a color unique to its genetic code. For blood stem cells, that color becomes a genetic signature passed down to daughter cells; purple stem cells, for example, will only make purple blood cells.

Feb 11, 2024 · Purple blobs are clones of the stem cells that Caroline Gargett and colleagues identified in menstrual fluid-CREDIT: K. SCHWAB, C. TAN and C. GARGETT, The Ritchie Centre, Hudson Institute of...

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are shown to be responsible for initiation and progression of tumors in a variety of cancers. We previously showed that anthocyanin-containing baked purple-fleshed potato (PP) extracts (PA) suppressed early and advanced human colon cancer cell proliferation and induced apopt …

Oct 9, 2024 · Liver cancer stem cells (purple, pink and red bundles) and neighboring macrophages (yellow, green and purple circles). A Stanford Medicine-led study found that residual liver cancer cells interact with neighboring macrophages to prompt the disease to reappear.

Aug 26, 2015 · Compounds found in purple potatoes may help kill colon cancer stem cells and limit the spread of the cancer, according to a team of researchers. Baked purple-fleshed potatoes suppressed...

This persistent stem cell—or three separate stem cells, as some believed—appeared to be the source of replenishment for the blood’s three major lineages of cells: red blood cells (erythrocytes), the oxygen carriers; white blood cells (leukocytes), the infection fighters; and platelets (thrombocytes), the facilitators of blood-clotting.

Nov 21, 2016 · A normal blood system tends to have a diversity of clonal stem cell types; all cells are genetically identical but have different epigenetic changes that affect gene expression. Being able to track how different clonal populations develop has many implications for medicine.

Self-renewal in the intestinal epithelia is fueled by a population of undifferentiated intestinal stem cells (ISCs) that give rise to daughter or progenitor cells, which can subsequently differentiate into the mature cell types required for normal gut function.

Nov 30, 2016 · In a cluster of glowing human stem cells, one cell divides. The cell membrane is shown in purple, while DNA in the dividing nucleus is blue. The white fibers linking the nucleus are...

Aug 1, 2019 · Scientists at Penn State University explored the effect of purple potatoes on cancer stem cells. In the lab, they fed mice that are at high risk for developing colon cancer the dietary equivalent of one purple potato (Purple Majesty variety) each day for a week.
