How are stem cells trnsplanted?
Stem cells are cells that have not specialised. Specialist cells can only be the one thing that they are specialised for; ie, you cannot turn skin cells into a heart, or liver cells into a brain. Stem cells have not specialised and can therefore become any type of cell. I am not sure how they are stimulated to become one kind or another, but they can. Adult stem cells are not as good as embryonic stem cells, but because harvesting embryonic stem cells requires the destruction of a human embryo it is banned in many countries.
Why are nerve cells described as being specialised?
The only one of the 220 different types of Human Cells that is not specialized is the Stem Cell.
What part of a developing embryo are stem cells derived from?
Stem cells come from newly fertilized eggs.
What are the difference between ordinary cells and stem cells?
a regular cell is natural ???????? right? A stem cell is a cell that can renew themselves to form other types of cell. Example:Human egg cell/ovum This is an example of a totipotent stem cell. Totipotent stem cells are those cells that can transform into any type of cell. There are many types of stem cells like pluripotent stem cells, multipotent stem cells etc.
What are the 3 general properties of all stem cells?
Self-renewal: Stem cells can divide and replicate themselves indefinitely. Potency: Stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types. Marker expression: Stem cells express specific cell surface markers that help identify and characterize them.

What is the specialization of stem cells and what role they play?
This is when a cell is specialised to do a certain job. ^^ that doesn't answer the question. All I know is that stem cells have a large central vacuole that is used mainly for support.
What part of a developing embryo are stem cells derived from?
Stem cells come from newly fertilized eggs.
What are unspecialised cells that can grow into any type of cell?
Merestematic 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 celll specialization?
Cell specialisation is when a cell becomes specific for a particular function. Unspecialised cells are called stem cells. Stem cells can become specialised for a particular function by undergoing cell specialisation to become cells that are responsible for a particular function. For example, when a stem cell undergoes specialisation to become a heart cells, its main responsibility is contracting to pump blood around the body.

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.
What are embryonic stem?
They are cells taken from an embryo in which they can be added to someone to change into a specialised cell. For example if a kidney needed to be replaced then an emryonic stem cell would have the nucleus of a working kidney cell added to it and then would be placed into the kidney of the patient, this will then trigger the reproduction of working kindey cells.
