Stem cells are special cells in the body which can transform into any other kind of cell. Embryonic stem cells are the stem cells which develop soon after an egg becomes fertilized with a sperm (which is what makes it an embryo). There are also adult stem cells, which are present inside grown humans.
Stem cells have been used to grow artificial tissues and organs and may someday be a better alternative to getting transplants.
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
an over view of the embryonic stem cell therapies in use?
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.
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.
