    GlossaryStem Cell Maintenance

    processes ensuring stem cells stay healthy and self-renewing

    Stem cell maintenance refers to the processes that ensure stem cells remain healthy, functional, and capable of self-renewal over time. This involves a balance of signals and environmental conditions that prevent stem cells from differentiating prematurely, allowing them to continue producing new cells as needed for tissue repair and regeneration. For professionals, it encompasses understanding the molecular pathways and niche interactions that regulate stem cell quiescence, proliferation, and differentiation.
