Stem cells has the capability to regenerate and develop into any kind of tissue or organ, when supported with the external nutrients. So they are called as totipotent.
There are two kinds of stem cell
a)adult stem cells
b)embryonic stem cells.
There are various researches going on in this area .
Hematopoietic stem cells normally develop into red blood cells that carry oxygen, white blood cells that fight infection, and platelets that help make blood clot.
they are unipotent
Besides embryonic or pluripotent stem cells, there are tissue-specific stem cells
Yes. Stem cells can change into any other cell, through a process called "differentiation" However, adult stem cells are less likely to do so, as opposed to embryonic stem cells that can differentiate readily
A stem cell can develop into other types of cells.
Stem cells are different from other cells in the body in several notable ways. They can divide and renew themselves many times, whereas other cells are more limited in their divisions. And when those stem cells divide, the new cells can become specialized if necessary. Stem cells have no assigned function in the body, but through the process of specialization, they can take on roles in any of the body's tissues. These type of cells can be derived from human embryos or from certain spots in the adult human body.

Stem cells. that is why they are needed for research
Cord stem cells are exactly like normal stem cells, but they do come from an aborted fetus like most stem cells. Just like normal stem cells, they can be used to create any other cell needed in the human body.
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.
they are unipotent
Therapeutic cloning is important to enhance the understanding of stem cells and how they and other cells develop.
No. Stem cells can reproduce and become other cells which may help fight off disease.
