stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate in to all cell types.
they are of two types:
1) Embryonic stem cells ( totipotent cells)
they can differentiate in to any type of cells in our body..
2) adult stem cells ( multipotent cells)
they can be differentiated into only one type of cell from which it is derived from.
They are used mostly in organ and tissue transplantation. mostly used in medicinal field to cure diseases now adays.

What are the types of stem cells?
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.
Are fetal cells only source of stem cells?
There are 2 type of stem cells * embryonic stem cells * and adult stem cells fetal stem cells are grouped into the adult stem cell category
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
Three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and neural stem cells.
How should stem cells be used?
stem cells are used for growing new cells and in my opinion they should be used to help ill people and nothing more like growing new ppl and stuff like that
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
Should embryonic stem cells be legal?
yes they should

What are unspecialized human cells called?
They are called stem cells.
Should stem cells be used or not?
This is a question of ethics, not of science.
Cells that retain the ability to divide continuously without specializing are called?
Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.
How many different types of tissue stem cells are there?
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.
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.
