The symmetric division model predicts that the fate of each naïve T-cell is determined by the cytokines the dendritic cell produces: one cell, one fate. The asymmetric division model predicts that two ...

Whenever stem cells are called upon to generate a particular type of cell, they undergo an asymmetric cell division. With asymmetric division, each of the two resulting daughter cells has its own ...

The (a) intestine, (b) esophagus and (c) stomach are shown. Quiescent stem cells (d) through asymmetric division probably give rise to more rapidly dividing active stem cells, which then produce ...
