Investigation of venom use in stem cell differentiation
Stem cells differentiate to form more than 200 specialised cells, including erythroid bodies, haematopoietic cells, myogenic cells, neural cells, signalling cells and structural cells, such as hepatocytes. Differentiation of stem cells triggers a number of variable changes in the cell, such as membrane potential, responsiveness to signal, metabolic activities, and…
