- 3. Undifferentiated cells residing in vivo, or in vitro cultured cells and capable of self-renewal and cellular differentiation.
- 5. The process by which stem cells differentiate into adipocytes.
- 8. It’s obtained from the fetus of slaughtered pregnant cows and used to produce the cultivated meat burger tasted in 2013 in London (now replaced due to cost and ethical issues).

Down
- 1. The process by which ancestor cells, such as zygotes and progenitors, change into functionally specialized cells/tissues in molecular biological aspects.
- 2. The process by which embryonic stem cells become muscle stem cells, at the basis of cultivated meat.
- 4. Biomimetic 3D materials that recapitulate in vivo stem cell niches, providing an adhesive surface that supports stem cell organization, tissue maturation, and in vitro organogenesis.
- 6. A term used in Philosophy meaning representation or imitation.
- 7. The process by which cell lines acquire, either spontaneously or artificially, the ability to proliferate indefinitely.
