Stem cells can be used for many things. The one thing that they are being used for now is treating diseases. A stem cell is a cell in the body with no specific function yet. Scientist are trying to discover a way to get the cell to fight cancer. In the UK stem cells have recently cured a man with HIV AIDS.
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.

There are three different types of tissue stem cells in the body. They include the tissue stem cells also known as adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells.
Multipotent stem cells
Multipotent stem cells
What kind(s) of cells can develop from unipotent stem cells
Pluripotent stem cells.
Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.
The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).

Yes, some stem cells do come from humans. The stem cells are taken from embryos. Animals also have stem cells used in research.
