Part 1: What is a Stem Cell? Stem cells differ from other kinds of cells in the body. When a stem cell divides by mitosis, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become anot —ectodermal cells overlaying the notochord become tall columnar, producing neural groove —the dorsal margins of the neural groove merge medially, forming a neural tached from the tube and collec Retina Summary of Grant Activities: January to December 2015 Project Title: Correcting inherited retinal disease through gene editing .
