They are cells taken from an embryo in which they can be added to someone to change into a specialised cell. For example if a kidney needed to be replaced then an emryonic stem cell would have the nucleus of a working kidney cell added to it and then would be placed into the kidney of the patient, this will then trigger the reproduction of working kindey cells.
Embryonic stem cells that are pluripotent can develop into any type of cell.
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
Using embryonic stem cells for research is not murder.
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells
adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic stem cells
Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.
an over view of the embryonic stem cell therapies in use?
Embryonic stem cells are used to treat a variety of diseases. Stem cells also help organs and tissues repair themselves.
They can become more cells than adult stem cells can.
Using embryonic stem cells is unethical for many people, especially if they were only created for stem cell research.
The main similarity between embryonic and adult stem cells is their ability for self-renewal.
