Yes, some stem cells do come from humans. The stem cells are taken from embryos. Animals also have stem cells used in research.

What are unspecialized human cells called?
They are called stem cells.
When was Human Stem Cells Institute created?
Human Stem Cells Institute was created in 2003.
Are stem cells artificial cells?
No. Stem cells occur naturally in the human body. However we are trying to clone stem cells to aid in there research.
Can you get stem cells from a cow?
You could get bovine stem cells from a cow. These could be useful if you are trying to study stem cells themselves, however most stem cell research is for the purpose of human medicine. For medical applications bovine stem cells would not be of much use as they are significantly different from human stem cells.
Which type of stem cell are human blood stem cells?
multiponent
What are stem cells described as?
stem cells are described as cells part of the embryo where fertilized human egg cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes
Are Adult stem cells as useful as Embrionic stem cells?
Yes and No. The only big difference is the procedures used in harvesting adult stem cells is considered legal and safe. There's no need to kill a human embryo. Adult stem cells can be harvested from cord blood or human bone marrow. But embryonic stem cells are able to make more kinds of cells than adult stem cells.
What cells is the human body made of?
When a human fetus is in its mother's womb, all of the cells that start to develop in it are stem cells. stem cells can form into any other type cell found in the human body. as the fetus continues to develop, the stem cells will change into whatever cells the baby needs(i.e., they will change into all the cells found in the human body)
How is human tissue and stem cell similar?
Tissue is an ensemble of cells that make up the organs in the body. Stem cells are cells that can be transformed into any of the specialized cells that can be found in the tissues of the human body.
Where at in the human body are stem cells?
There are adult stem cells and there are embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells are found in many body tissues such as in the brain, neural stem cells, and in bone marrow. Also the embryonic stem cells, as you can tell by the name, are from the embryo which starts to develop into more recognizable specialized stem cells within three to four weeks after fertilization.
What about the application of human adult stem cells?
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells, found throughout the body after development that multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. Also known as somatic stem cells, they can be found in juvenile as well as adult animals and human bodies. Creative Bioarray provides adult stem cells from various tissue/organs of human, mouse and rat.
What sources of stem cells presents the greatest ethical problems or controversies?
Stem cells can be harvested by destroying human embryos.
