2. Stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell

   Multipotent stem cells can differentiate into a number of cell types, but only those of a closely related family of cells. [15] Oligopotent stem cells can differentiate into only a few cell types, such as lymphoid or myeloid stem cells. [15] Unipotent cells can produce only one cell type, their own, [15] but have the property of self-renewal ...

3. Parthenogenesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis

   Initially, Hwang claimed he and his team had extracted stem cells from cloned human embryos, a result later found to be fabricated. Further examination of the chromosomes of these cells show indicators of parthenogenesis in those extracted stem cells, similar to those found in the mice created by Tokyo scientists in 2004. Although Hwang ...

4. Adult stem cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_stem_cell

   A stem cell possesses two properties: . Self-renewal is the ability to go through numerous cycles of cell division while still maintaining its undifferentiated state. Stem cells can replicate several times and can result in the formation of two stem cells, one stem cell more differentiated than the other, or two differentiated cells.

5. Cloning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloning

   The most likely purpose for this is to produce embryos for use in stem cell research. This process is also called "research cloning" or "therapeutic cloning". The goal is not to create cloned human beings (called "reproductive cloning"), but rather to harvest stem cells that can be used to study human development and to potentially treat disease.

6. Stem-cell line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem-cell_line

   Adult stem cells are multipotent: they can generate a limited number of differentiated cell types (unlike pluripotent embryonic stem cells). Types of adult stem cells include hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are found in the bone marrow and generate all cells of the immune system all blood cell types.

   STEM CELLS ARE found in most parts of the body and can be used to create many different types of cells. They constantly grow and divide, replicating themselves, whereas typical cells multiply and ...
