What type of cell can differentiate into any kind of cell?
A stem cell can become any other type of specialized cell.
Does a stem cell have a function?
stem cells can turn into any cell of the body and preform their function.
Bone marrow cell gives rise to many types of blood cells?
hematopoietic stem cell
What is a pluripotential stem cell?
A pluripotential cell is the property of a cell to develop into many different types of cells. This property could allow repair of damage caused by such diseases as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, as well as Diabetes, and injury to spinal cords.
What is difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells?
An embryonic stem cell potentially can develop into ANY cell in the body theoretically without limit to replenish, and an adult stem cell is only able to mature into a specialised tissue cell from which tissue the cell is positioned.
What is the type of cell that can divide to give rise?
Perhaps you are thinking of stem cells.
What type of cell can differentiate into any kind of cell?
A stem cell can become any other type of specialized cell.
Where all cells come from?
All cells come from a stem cell, which is an unspecialized cell that gives rise to a specific specialized cell, such as a blood cell. These cells differentiate and give rise to the various kinds of cells we have in our body.
Cell that can develp into multiple cell types?
Are called stem cells. These cells are either totipotent (can give rise to all types of cells of that organism) or pluripotent (can give rise to many, but not all types of cells of that organism).
Are stem cells considered pluripotent?
Pluripotent cells can give rise to all of the cell types that make up the body; embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent. Multipotent cells can develop into more than one cell type, but are more limited than pluripotent cells; adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells are considered multipotent.
What type of stem cells saves lives?
There are mainly two types of Stem Cells, namely Embryonic Stem Cells and Adult Stem cells. A stem cell, for it's therapuetic values, should be bale to be expanded in any of the tissues of the body. To say in short they should be Totipotent or at least Plueripotent. The Embroynic stem cells are considered as totipotent by some writer (because they give rise to all the tissues of body) but plueripotent by some writer (because they could not give rise to Trophoblast Layer). These embryonic stem are usually used as an ideal stem cells and are expanded in culture for implications in medical use.
What type of cell gives rise to all immune cells?
stem cell
How might stem cells be used to treat disease?
Stem cells are usually totipotent or pleuripotent cells. As such, they can undergo differentiation, according to the conditions provided, to give different types of cells. Basically, they have capability of producing specific tissues. Scientists believe that stem cell therapy can very much effect the treatment of illnesses. Presently, bone marrow transplants, which are used to treat leukemia, are also a type of stem cell therapy. Medical researchers are trying to make stem cell therapy able to cure diseases such as Parkinson's disease, cancer, spinal cord injuries, muscle damage, etc.
What are the characteristic of stem cells?
All stem cells have three general charactersitcs:1. they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods2. they are unspecialized3. they can give rise to specialized cell types.
Does a stem cell have a function?
stem cells can turn into any cell of the body and preform their function.
Is a zygote a body cell or a sex cell?
a zygote is a stem cell
Bone marrow cell gives rise to many types of blood cells?
hematopoietic stem cell
