How does a stem cell become a nerve cell bone cell or muscle cell?

As yet, scientists are not certain how stem cells know what type of cell to become. All they can be sure of at the moment is that they respond to signals received from other, often neighbouring, cells.

It was just reported that British scientists have generated functional nerve cells from skin cells. The nerve cells showed the same functional characteristics as the mature cells found in the body.

What are the General structural and functional differences between a nerve and smooth muscle cell?
The general structural and functional differences between a nerve cell and a smooth muscle cell are as follows. A nerve cell, controls the nervous system and automatic functions a smooth muscle cell is located in the smooth muscle where the nerve cell is.
What specialized cells include fat cell bone cells nerve cells and muscle cells?
They are included in the tissues in one's buttocks
How does a nerve cell make a muscle cell work?
From the previous answerer: how does a muscle cell work? well it starts with a nerve cell and this moves on to make the muscle cell work it contracts and relaxes.wow, you must have a degree in microbiology. so it goes from the nerve to the cell and then it's just magic after that? i would say nice try, but it wasn't.
Animal cell examples?
An animal cell is made of cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and vacuole. and an example of animal cell is skin cell, nerve cell, muscle cell, blood cell or etc...

Neurotransmitters
How does specialization in muscle and nerve cell affect their ability to reproduce?
Some cells have a greatly, or even completely, deminished ability to reproduce once they become specialized. Muscle and nerve cells are a prime example of this.
