Stem Cell Niche
摘要
FromStem cell niche the earliest times of humanity to the present day, efforts to find cures for diseases and to slow down or prevent the aging process have been and continue to be the leading topics of medical science and researchers. We are at the beginning of a brand new era in the field of biotechnology, where artificial intelligence applications have also come to the fore, and their reflections are also attracting attention in medical science. Many medical applications were performed in this process. As a results of ongoing researches, new types and sources of cells that have the hope of being used in treatment are being added. The most remarkable of these researches and applications in the last twenty years have been those related to stem cells. Stem cells exist in special microenvironments called ‘niches’ that promote their maintenance and regulate their functions. Stem cell fate depends on the dynamic microenvironments that support them throughout life. Therefore, knowledge of the stem cell niche is essential to comprehending the biology and activities of stem cells.
