This card defines stem cells as undifferentiated cells with differentiation potential, used for growth, development, and repair, stressing the need for monitoring to prevent cancer or aging.
Tato karta popisuje kmenové buňky jako nediferencované buňky s potenciálem diferenciací a uvádí jejich využití pro růst, vývoj a opravy, a také nutnost jejich monitorování kvůli riziku rakoviny nebo stárnutí.
| Front | Stem cells, it’s uses and monitoration 2.1.6(j) |
|---|---|
| Back | Undifferentiated cells with potential to differentiate, able to undergo cell division until specialised - uses include growth, development and repair - activity closely monitored as if division too slow, less replacement so aging occurs, and if division too fast, uncontrolled division, masses of cells formed(tumors) leading to cancer |
