Day 1/100 — What are Stem Cells?

Stem cells are the reason your body can repair itself.

They built you from a single cell—and they still maintain your tissues today.
Here’s what makes stem cells biologically unique. 🧵

Tomorrow (Day 4):
We’ll examine embryonic stem cells — and why their biology still shapes modern regenerative medicine.

🧬 Day 3/100 — Stem Cell Potency Is Not About Power. It’s About Control.
In developmental biology, we classify stem cells as:

Totipotent.
Pluripotent.
Multipotent.

But this classification is more than terminology.

It defines biological risk and therapeutic strategy. 🧵

[Maaz Butt @Maaz_butt121]

What do you think:

Is tumorigenesis closer to pluripotent reprogramming or to uncontrolled expansion of lineage-restricted stem cells?

[Maaz Butt @Maaz_butt121]

Two powers.
One cell.
Endless possibilities.

Day 2/100 — Stem cells have two superpowers.
And your entire existence depends on them.
Self-renewal and Differentiation 🧵

[Maaz Butt @Maaz_butt121]

4. When this balance fails, consequences follow.
Too much self-renewal → Cancer
Too much differentiation → Aging, degeneration
Balance is everything.

Tomorrow (Day 2/100):

Self-renewal vs Differentiation — the core mechanism behind stem cell power.

In simple terms:
Stem cells are the biological foundation of regeneration and future medicine.
And we’re only beginning to unlock their full potential.
