Progenitor cells are a step towards being differentitated in that they are called pluripotent and can make any cell of that lineage (muscle cell lineage, ...

... (or maybe that we just don't have full comprehension . . . yet), and that means that there are more processes to repress to get back to stem cell/progenitor/dedifferentiated status. But if the dna "blueprints" are still there, we should be able to create an environment (albeit complex) ...

... looking for some basic information about differentiation in general. Do cells actively divide during the differentiation process? I mean, when a progenitor cell is activated (by antigen or some other stimuli), do they keep dividing during the various stages of differentiation? I would appreciate ...
