Asymmetric Stem Cell Division - Narrower
Concept UI M0552681
Scope note Type of cell division of stem cells resulting in one daughter cell identical to the original stem cell and another non-stem daughter cell. This type of cell differentiation is achieved by asymmetrical segregation of cell fate determinants (see CELL POLARITY) and orientation of the MITOTIC SPINDLE in the context of intrinsic and extrinsic cues (STEM CELL NICHE).
Preferred term Asymmetric Stem Cell Division
Entry term(s) Asymmetric Stem Cell Differentiation
