blastema Explanation: see http://salute.doctissimo.it/dizionario-della-salute/abbozzo.... Primo stadio della formazione di un organo nell'embrione; può essere individuato in un aggregato cellulare già durante la segmentazione dell'uovo o allo stadio di blastula, cioè prima ancora del differenziamento dei foglietti embrionali. and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastema A blastema is a mass of cells capable of growth and regeneration into organs or body parts. Historically, blastemas were thought to be composed of undifferentiated pluripotent cells, but recent research indicates that in some organisms blastemas may retain memory of tissue origin.[1] Blastemas are typically found in the early stages of an organism's development such as in embryos, and in the regeneration of tissues, organs and bone. |
