Stem cells are a special type of cells that have two important properties. They are able to make more cells like themselves. That is, they self-renew. And they can become other cells that do different things in a process known as differentiation. Stem cells are found in almost all tissues of the body.
Stem cells have the ability to recreate functional tissues. Pluripotent stem cells are undifferentiated; they do not have any tissue-specific characteristics (such as morphology or gene expression pattern) that allow them to perform specialized functions.
Stem cell, an undifferentiated cell that can divide to produce some offspring cells that continue as stem cells and some cells that are destined to differentiate (become specialized).
Stem cells are the only cells in your body that make different cell types, like blood, bone and muscle cells. They also repair damaged tissue. Now, stem cells are essential blood cancer and blood disorder treatments.
In multicellular organisms, stem cells are undifferentiated or partially differentiated cells that can change into various types of cells and proliferate indefinitely to produce more of the same stem cell.
Stem cells are special cells that can turn into different types of cells. In a developing embryo, they can develop into any type of cell. Once the body is grown, they can develop into specific cell types, to replace old or damaged cells.
Stem cells are special human cells that have the ability to develop into many different cell types, from muscle cells to brain cells. In some cases, they also have the ability to repair damaged tissues.
