What are the types of stem cells?
There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.
How are stem cells trnsplanted?
Stem cells are cells that have not specialised. Specialist cells can only be the one thing that they are specialised for; ie, you cannot turn skin cells into a heart, or liver cells into a brain. Stem cells have not specialised and can therefore become any type of cell. I am not sure how they are stimulated to become one kind or another, but they can. Adult stem cells are not as good as embryonic stem cells, but because harvesting embryonic stem cells requires the destruction of a human embryo it is banned in many countries.
Are adult stem cells really potentially better than embryonic?
Present research indicates that adult stem cells are just as good as embryonic.
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).

Where can I find out about recent advances in storage of stem cells?
You can find out more about recent advances in storage of stem cells at stemcellstorageguide.com/how-are-stem-cells-stored/. Another good website is linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0188440903001255

5 Explain two ways in which stem cells could be used to understand or treat medical conditions?
Stem cells replace damaged tissue with new healthy tissue. This is the absolutely most basic description of why they are so important for the future of medicine. In the future, stem cells will cure hearing loss, vision loss, spinal injury, diabetes, alzheimer's, knee problems, etc., etc., because of replacing tissue in the body that has transformed into "bad" cells from damage or cancer. That is how cancer originates. Cancer orginates from "good" cells turning into 'out-of-control' bad cells. Defeat the unhealthy cells, and replace with new healthy cells. That is what stem cell regeneration will do.

Present research indicates that adult stem cells are just as good as embryonic.
How many different types of tissue stem cells are there?
There are three different types of tissue stem cells in the body. They include the tissue stem cells also known as adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells.
What kind of stem cells can only develop into cells that are closely related to the original stem cells?
Multipotent stem cells
What kind of stem cells can only develope into cells that are closely related to the original stem cells?
Multipotent stem cells
What kind of stem cells can develop from unipotent stem cells?
What kind(s) of cells can develop from unipotent stem cells
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
Cells that retain the ability to divide continuously without specializing are called?
Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).
