AmiGO 2: Term Details for "stem cell population maintenance" (GO:0019827)

Accession: GO:0019827
Name: stem cell population maintenance
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: maintenance of pluripotency
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The process by which an organism or tissue maintains a population of stem cells of a single type. This can be achieved by a number of mechanisms: stem cell asymmetric division maintains stem cell numbers; stem cell symmetric division increases them; maintenance of a stem cell niche maintains the conditions for commitment to the stem cell fate for some types of stem cell; stem cells may arise de novo from other cell types.
