  • 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. Amoeba Sisters videos only cover concepts that Pinky is certified to teach, and they focus on her specialty: secondary life science.

    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?

  • @davidsvarrer8942
    @davidsvarrer8942 Před rokem +1

    Hey AMoeba sisters, I came across your good video, but, it does not explain what the title promises. You have just moved the story from that the stem cells become different stem cells, into that it is a protein-and-otherwise-also-induced process with internal and external factors. Yeah, that's right - but what is it, which makes it happen?
    What makes a cluster or colony of stemcells trigger such that these proteins-and-other-things - suddenly affect one part of the produced cells and not the others? Like: You have a clump/lump of cells, let's say 1,000 of them, let's say they are still stem cells. Now, from a certain onset, they start dividing in another way such that SOME of the further cells being generated are now precursors to liver-cells. From another onset, they start dividing so that now there will be produced further stem-cells, liver-cells and maybe also blood tissue?
    What triggers it? You have this Petri-dish with seemingly identical cells - now - what happens for just one cell to start developing characteristics? You are missing to lift that information up to the screen of us viewers :-) ...
    I will continue with your other video about "specialized cells". And thanks for the efforts! Very good as a start.
