B.They maintain and repair the body. -APEX *(thankss to ChandaaLynn) =]
What else can I help you with?
What is the primary role of the undifferentiated cells?
Adult stem cells
Why not just study adult stem cells?
adult stem cells are to big to study.
What ways might use of adult stem cells be better than the use of embryonic stem cells?
The adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in a very few cases. One way they are better is that the adult stem cells can be transplanted back into the adult patient and grown. The body will not reject its own 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 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 Stem cells can produce their own type of cells?
Adult stem cells
How are adult stem cells better then embryonic stem cells?
Adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in some ways because they have less risk of immune rejection, as they can be collected from the patient's own body. Additionally, the use of adult stem cells avoids the ethical concerns surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells have also shown promising results in various treatments and therapies.
Adult stem cells are as versatile as embryonic stem cells true or false?
False. Adult stem cells are more limited in their potential compared to embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into many different cell types, whereas adult stem cells are usually more restricted in the types of cells they can become.
Why do adult stem cells currently have fewer uses in therapeutic cloning that embryonic stem cells?
Adult stem cells have more limited differentiation potential compared to embryonic stem cells, making them less versatile for therapeutic cloning. Additionally, adult stem cells are often harder to manipulate in the lab and may not replicate as easily as embryonic stem cells. However, adult stem cells have the advantage of being less likely to be rejected by the recipient's immune system, which can be a benefit in certain therapeutic applications.
What stem cell can produce their own type of cells?
Adult stem cells
Are fetal cells only source of stem cells?
Fetal tissues are not the only source of stem cells. Stem cells can also be found in other sources such as bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, and adult tissues like adipose tissue. These sources provide alternative options for stem cell research and therapy.
Are Adult stem cells as useful as Embrionic stem cells?
Yes and No. The only big difference is the procedures used in harvesting adult stem cells is considered legal and safe. There's no need to kill a human embryo. Adult stem cells can be harvested from cord blood or human bone marrow. But embryonic stem cells are able to make more kinds of cells than adult stem cells.
