Are embryonic stem cells a safe source for the generation of human gametes in vitro?

Embryonic stem cells have proved to be a safe source for the generation of human gametes in vitro.


What type of cell are stem stem cell described as?

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.


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.


What are the three main types of stem cells?

The three types of stem cells are Totipotent, Pluripotent and Multipotent. Edit By Camden Stevens: there are actually four- Totipotent, Pluripotent, Multipotent, and Unipotent stem cells. Toti, Pluri, and Multipotent are all embryotic stem cells, which means they occur in the embryo before the child is actually born, then pluripotent and multipotent last until adulthood. Then unipotent stem cells occur through adulthood to the rest of the life.


Why do researchers prefer to use embryonic stem cell research instead of adult stem cells?

embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more types of cells

What are some potential sources of embryonic stem cells for use in research and stem cell treatment?

The umbilical cord has stem cells in it. Baby teeth are another possible source of stem cells.

How are adult body cells differ from embryonic stem 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

What are the similarities and differences between research on and the use of adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells?

One major difference between adult and embryonic stem cells is their different abilities in the number and type of differentiated cell types they can become. Embryonic stem cell can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin.


For in the use of embryonic stem cells?

Embryonic stem cells are used to treat a variety of diseases. Stem cells also help organs and tissues repair themselves.
