#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

Differences in cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix adhesions as well as the cell density within the niche can alter the mechanical forces that influence stem cell behavior.

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology

Chemical regulation of stem cells takes the form of secreted proteins from surrounding cells that influence stem cell states and progenitor differentiation through endocrine, paracrine, or juxtacrine mechanisms.
