Subtopics

Stem cell types

• Totipotent stem cell [r]: Single cells that have the potential to form an entire organism. They have the capacity to specialize into extraembryonic membranes and tissues, the embryo, and all postembryonic tissues and organs. (Medical Subject Headings) ^[e]
• Multipotent stem cell [r]: Specialized stem cells that are committed to give rise to cells that have a particular function (Medical Subject Headings) ^[e]
  • Myoblast [r]: Embryonic (precursor) cells of the myogenic lineage that develop from the mesoderm. They undergo proliferation, migrate to their various sites, and then differentiate into the appropriate form of myocytes (Medical Subject Headings) ^[e]
  • Hemapoetic stem cell [r]: Progenitor cells from which all blood cells derive (Medical Subject Headings) ^[e]
    • Lymphoid progenitor cell [r]: Stem cells from which B-lymphocytes; T-lymphocytes; natural killer cells and some dendritic cells derive ^[e]
    • Myeloid progenitor cell [r]: Stem cells that differentiate into megakaryocytes, erythroid cells, myeloid cells and some dendritic cells ^[e]
      • Granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cell [r]: The parent cells that give rise to both cells of the granulocyte lineage and cells of the monocyte and macrophage lineage. ^[e]
      • Megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitor cell [r]: Differentiated stem cells that give rise to both cells of the megakaryocyte and the erythrocyte lineages, as part of the process of erythropoesis ^[e]
• Pluripotent stem cell [r]: Stem cells that can give rise to cells of the three different germ layers (Medical Subject Headings) ^[e]

Politics

• George W. Bush [r]: (1946–) 43rd U.S. President (Republican), elected in 2000 and re-elected in 2004. ^[e]
• James Langevin [r]: U.S. House of Representatives (D-Rhode Island); House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and Tactical and Technical Intelligence Subcommittee, House Armed Services Committee, House Committee on the Budget; Co-Founder and Co-Chairman of the bipartisan House Cybersecurity Caucus; special interest in stem cell research as only quadriplegic in Congress; 2008 100% rating from Americans for Democratic Action and 0% rating from American Conservative Union; Congressional Internet Caucus ^[e]
• Barack Obama [r]: 44th President of the United States of America (2009–2017) and a former Senator from Illinois (U.S. state) (born 1961). ^[e]
• National Right to Life Committee [r]: A U.S. group principally opposed to abortion and euthanasia, with some interest in other life issues; Affiliate, Alliance Defense Fund ^[e]
• NARAL Pro-Choice America [r]: Add brief definition or description
