WHAT DOES BLASTEMA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Blastema

A blastema is a mass of cells capable of growth and regeneration into organs or body parts. Historically, blastemas were thought to be composed of undifferentiated pluripotent cells, but recent research indicates that in some organisms blastemas may retain memory of tissue origin. Blastemas are typically found in the early stages of an organism's development such as in embryos, and in the regeneration of tissues, organs and bone. Some amphibians and certain species of fish can produce blastemas as adults. For example, salamanders can regenerate many organs after their amputation, including their limbs, tail, retina and intestine. Most animals, however, cannot produce blastemas.

Definition of blastema in the English dictionary

The definition of blastema in the dictionary is a mass of undifferentiated animal cells that will develop into an organ or tissue: present at the site of regeneration of a lost part.
