  • How do cells in your body differentiate into other types of cells? Explore cell specialization featuring stem cells and their role in cell differentiation. For examples on types of specialized cells, see our "Specialized Cells" video here: • Specialized Cells: Sig... .
    The Amoeba Sisters videos demystify science with humor and relevance. The videos center on Pinky's certification and experience in teaching science at the high school level. Pinky's teacher certification is in grades 4-8 science and 8-12 composite science (encompassing biology, chemistry, and physics). Amoeba Sisters videos only cover concepts that Pinky is certified to teach, and they focus on her specialty: secondary life science. For more information about The Amoeba Sisters, visit: www.amoebasisters.com/about-us...
    REFERENCES:
    We cover the basics in biology concepts at the secondary level. If you are looking to discover more about biology and go into depth beyond these basics, our recommended reference is the FREE, peer reviewed, open source OpenStax biology textbook: openstax.org/details/books/bi...
    More detailed information about terms "multipotent" and "pluripotent" as well as stem cell therapy? Check out this excellent paper: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
    This video mentions the amazing ability of induced pluripotent stem cells. Here is a paper describing this technology in great detail: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...

How? Can you expalin more please????

    It seems hard for me to understand how one cell, when divided by mitosis, give rise to more types of cells because at first I thought they all have the same environment=transcription factors. Then I heard you said some places contain more of particular TF than others. Why is that?
