Document Summary
Scientific journals are published to share scientific knowledge with the scientific community people can disagree and do. Lifesci 2a03 research contrary to a study; people can agree and further the research. Reported recently that severed limb may not need pluripotent stem cells to regenerate, but only multipotent or unipotent stem cells, stem cells with relatively restricted fates. Stem cells are cells that can become other types of cells (bone, muscle etc) 1: pluripotent able to become any type of cell, multipotent many potential cells; can become many different cells, unipotent potential to become one type of cell. Are they essential for regeneration? (remove or add more see. Lifesci 2a03: commitment to the use of experimentation observations, planned intervention into a natural process to observe the effects, eg/ a limb regeneration mystery solved. Labeling cells and observing fate can differentiate labeled cells (eg/ stem cells) from other cells. If no perform new experiments and analysis: draw conclusions, communicate results.
