Pluripotent stem cells.
A stem cell can develop into other types of cells.
Stem cells are pluripotent, that is, they have the ability to differentiate and become any cell type in the body.
The main difference between a stem cell and a differentiated cell is: A stem cell has the ability to self-renewel and also has the ability to differentiate(to become a tissue specific cell). But, a differentiated cell don't have the ability to self-renewel(moreover a stem cell get specialised to a differentiated cell).
they are special because they replace worn out tissue
Pluripotent stem cells.
Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.
A stem cell can develop into other types of cells.
Merestematic cells
Stem cells are pluripotent, that is, they have the ability to differentiate and become any cell type in the body.
Stem cells and leaf cells are two speacilized plant cells.
The main similarity between embryonic and adult stem cells is their ability for self-renewal.
Stem cells can divide to produce new stem cells to replace themselves.

Because those cells lack the ability to divide. Once nerve cells specialize from stem cells, they lose the ability to go through mitosis
