A stem cell is a type of cell that doesn't have a specific function. The cells you normally think about make up parts of the body like the muscles (e.g., heart), brain, nerves, etc. Stem cells have the ability to divide into these cells with a function and replace damaged ones. They can also divide into more stem cells.
The exploration and use of stem cells to replace damaged parts of the body is called stem cell research or technology.

Stem cell culture refers to the process of growing and maintaining stem cells in a laboratory setting. This involves providing the necessary conditions, such as specific growth factors and nutrients, to support the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells. Stem cell culture is essential for research, drug development, and regenerative medicine applications.
Unipotent
A progenitor cell is a partly specialized cell that is the daughter of a stem cell. Progenitor cells have a more limited differentiation potential compared to stem cells and are committed to differentiating into specific cell types.
stem cell
An undifferentiated cell is a basic cell that has not yet specialized into a specific cell type. Stem cells are a type of undifferentiated cell that can differentiate into different cell types. Nerve, skin, and blood cells are specialized cells that have differentiated from stem cells.
