What's the difference between embryonic and undifferentiated?

Embryonic


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to an embryo; embryonal; rudimentary.

Example Sentences:

  • (15) p50B is able to form heteromeric kappa B-binding complexes with RelB, as well as with p65 and p50, the two subunits of NF-kappa B. Transient-transfection experiments in embryonal carcinoma cells demonstrate a functional cooperation between p50B and RelB or p65 in transactivation of a reporter plasmid dependent on a kappa B site.
  • (16) At the adult neuromuscular junction, acetylcholine (ACh) receptors are highly localized at the subsynaptic membrane, whereas, embryonic myotubes before innervation have receptors distributed over the entire surface.

  • (20) Phosphotyrosine-modified proteins were also abundant in and highly restricted to the process-rich layers of the embryonic optic tectum.

Undifferentiated


Definition:

  • (a.) Not differentiated; specifically (Biol.), homogenous, or nearly so; -- said especially of young or embryonic tissues which have not yet undergone differentiation (see Differentiation, 3), that is, which show no visible separation into their different structural parts.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The subcellular distribution of sialyltransferase and its product of action, sialic acid, was investigated in the undifferentiated cells of the rat intestinal crypts and compared with the pattern observed in the differentiated cells present in the surface epithelium.
  • (2) Macrophages, undifferentiated fibroblasts and highly differentiated fibroblasts can be observed.
  • (3) Carcinomas exhibiting atypical behavior are characteristically undifferentiated and aggressive.
  • (4) Because of its potential significance in human lung cancer, we investigated the expression of the CYP1A1 structural gene in 24 established human lung cancer cell lines including 15 non-small cell (eight adenocarcinomas, three large cell undifferentiated carcinomas, two bronchioloalveolar cell carcinomas, and two squamous cell carcinomas) and nine small cell lung carcinomas.
  • (5) All 51 undifferentiated NPCs contained significant numbers of EBV-genome copies per cell.
  • (6) Unfortunately, it does not contain a population of undifferentiated stem cells to supply the necessary healthy neurons.
  • (7) The anterior division can be further parcellated into dorsal, lateral, and ventral areas, and each of these areas, along with the posterior division, can be thought of as containing more-or-less discrete nuclei embedded within a relatively undifferentiated region.
  • (8) In undifferentiated glioblastomas, the reverse situation was observed, no SS receptors were found (0 of 14) but EGF receptors were present in a majority of tumors (8 of 14).
  • (9) The human epidermal growth factor receptor (hEGF-R) was introduced into murine P19 embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells, which do not express endogenous EGF-R. Undifferentiated stable P19 EC transfectants containing multiple copies of the hEGF-R complementary DNA were isolated.
  • (10) However, the tip cells are slow to differentiate, and hence immature fruiting bodies contain a small population of undifferentiated tip cells.
