Brain regions involved in memory formation
Stem cells are defined as undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into three germ layers. The ability of self-renewal, through telomerase extending the telomere of chromosomes, allows the stem cell population to be maintained at a constant. As the induced pluripotent stem cells are passaged, the epigenetic memory of the cells diminishes and the cells gradually want to differentiate into any cell type rather than the original somatic cell type.
