Abstract:Stem cells undergo cytokine-driven differentiation; however, this process often takes longer than several weeks to complete. A novel mechanism for somatic stem cell differentiation via phagocytosing ‘model cells’ (apoptotic differentiated cells) was found to only require a short time frame. Pluripotent-like Muse cells, multipotent mesenchymal stem cells, and neural stem cells phagocytosed apoptotic differentiated cells via different phagocytic receptor subsets than macrophages. The phagocytosed-differentiated … Show more
