Where a stem cell is found in an adult mammal?
In fat cells.
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 a special feature for a stem cell?
Stem cells are important cells found in all multi-celled organisms, that can divide and recognise problems. In mammals, there are two types of stem cells: embryonic cells, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, renewing and restoring adult tissues.
What is the application of human adult stem cells?
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells, found throughout the body after development that multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. Also known as somatic stem cells, they can be found in juvenile as well as adult animals and human bodies.
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.
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.
Where are stem cells found in an adult mammal?
Adult stem cells are found in the bone marrow, they are also called multi-potent stem cells, i.e. they can only differentiate (develop) into 4 main types or cells (nerve, blood, cardiac and white blood cells) They are not as versatile as embryonic stem cells as they pluripotent i.e. they can differentiate into the 3 germ layers, mesoderm, endoderm, ectoderm. Basically they 3 groups of somatic (body) cells
What stem cell can produce their own type of cells?
Adult stem cells
What about the application of human adult stem cells?
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells, found throughout the body after development that multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. Also known as somatic stem cells, they can be found in juvenile as well as adult animals and human bodies. Creative Bioarray provides adult stem cells from various tissue/organs of human, mouse and rat.
What is the difference between embryonic and adult stem cells?

What advantages do embryonic stem cell have over adult stem cells in medical research?
Human embryonic and adult stem cells each have advantages and disadvantages regarding potential use for cell-based regenerative therapies. ... Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. Embryonic stem cells can be grown relatively easily in culture.
