In cellular biology, a somatic cell (from Ancient Greek σῶμα (sôma) 'body'), or vegetal cell, is any biological cell forming the body of a multicellular...

developmental biology, somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a laboratory strategy for creating a viable embryo from a body cell and an egg cell. The technique...

A somatic cell count (SCC) is a cell count of somatic cells in a fluid specimen, usually milk. In dairying, the SCC is an indicator of the quality of...

A somatic mutation is a change in the DNA sequence of a somatic cell of a multicellular organism with dedicated reproductive cells; that is, any mutation...

used to describe cells with three or more sets of chromosomes. Virtually all sexually reproducing organisms are made up of somatic cells that are diploid...

fundamental cell types: germ and somatic cells. Germ cells produce gametes and are the only cells that can undergo meiosis as well as mitosis. Somatic cells are...

removal of the cell wall of one cell of each type of plant using cellulase enzyme to produce a somatic cell called a protoplast The cells are then fused...

cloning that are being researched are somatic-cell nuclear transfer and (more recently) pluripotent stem cell induction. Reproductive cloning would involve...

created from a somatic cell and an egg cell. In 1996, Dolly the sheep achieved notoriety for being the first mammal cloned from a somatic cell. Another example...

pluripotent stem cells (also known as iPS cells or iPSCs) are a type of pluripotent stem cell that can be generated directly from a somatic cell. The iPSC technology...

gametes in other organisms). These somatic cells are diploid, containing two copies of each chromosome, whereas germ cells are haploid, as they only contain...

Somatic embryogenesis is an artificial process in which a plant or embryo is derived from a single somatic cell. Somatic embryos are formed from plant...

methylation as the somatic cells. The newly formed primordial germ cells (PGC) in the implanted embryo devolve from the somatic cells. At this point the...

Somatic recombination, as opposed to the genetic recombination that occurs in meiosis, is an alteration of the DNA of a somatic cell that is inherited...

differentiated a cell in a tumor is. Three basic categories of cells make up the mammalian body: germ cells, somatic cells, and stem cells. Each of the approximately...

contrast to a gamete, which has only one set of chromosomes, a diploid somatic cell has two sets of homologous chromosomes, one of which is a copy of the...

meristematic stem cells and embryogenic stem cells originating directly from single somatic cells." Despite that callus exhibits a number of stem cell-like properties...

use as ESCs replacements. Somatic expression of combined transcription factors can directly induce other defined somatic cell fates (transdifferentiation);...

genetically identical cells or organisms. In sexually reproducing organisms, cells that are not in the germline are called somatic cells. According to this...

human adult somatic cells can be cultured in vitro with the four “Yamanaka factors” (Oct-4, SOX2, c-Myc, KLF4) which effectively returns a cell to the pluripotent...

targeted, somatic hypermutation has been strongly implicated in the development of B-cell lymphomas and many other cancers. When a B cell recognizes...

strict distinction between the "immortal" germ cell lineages producing gametes and "disposable" somatic cells in animals (but not plants), in contrast to...

an adult somatic cell. She was cloned by associates of the Roslin Institute in Scotland, using the process of nuclear transfer from a cell taken from...

embryonic stem cells, to create stem cells using somatic cell nuclear transfer, and their use of techniques to create induced pluripotent stem cells. This controversy...

Somatic cell nuclear transfer is a cloning method that can be used to create a cloned embryo for the use of its embryonic stem cells in stem cell therapy...

Look up somatic in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Somatic may refer to: Somatic (biology), referring to the cells of the body in contrast to the germ...

only in certain adult cells). Somatic mosaicism is not generally inheritable as it does not generally affect germ cells. In 1929, Alfred Sturtevant studied...

Science that they successfully developed a somatic cell nuclear transfer method with which they made the stem cells. In 2005, they published again in Science...

reprogramming, and Somatic cell nuclear transfer or SCNT for short. Recent studies have also shown that cytoplasts from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have...
