Stem cells are pluripotent, that is, they have the ability to differentiate and become any cell type in the body.
Pluripotent stem cells.
A stem cell can develop into other types of cells.
Therapeutic cloning is important to enhance the understanding of stem cells and how they and other cells develop.
Cultured stem cells are important in producing tissues because they become specialized as they divide, which means that a specific form of tissue can be produced from them.

Pluripotent stem cells.
James Thomson, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, discovered the way to culture 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.
Stem cell culture is the process of growing and maintaining stem cells in a laboratory setting. This involves providing optimal conditions for the stem cells to grow and differentiate into various cell types, while also ensuring their quality and purity. Stem cell culture is essential for studying the properties of stem cells and developing potential therapies for various medical conditions.

Therapeutic cloning is important to enhance the understanding of stem cells and how they and other cells develop.
Cultured stem cells are important in producing tissues because they become specialized as they divide, which means that a specific form of tissue can be produced from them.
Stem cells can divide to produce new stem cells to replace themselves.
The main similarity between embryonic and adult stem cells is their ability for self-renewal.
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).
