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.
Can you get stem cells from a cow?
You could get bovine stem cells from a cow. These could be useful if you are trying to study stem cells themselves, however most stem cell research is for the purpose of human medicine. For medical applications bovine stem cells would not be of much use as they are significantly different from human stem cells.
What would prevent stem cells from other species being successful in humans?
The main challenges with using stem cells from other species in humans include potential rejection by the immune system, risk of introducing infections or diseases, and differences in genetic and biological factors that could affect their functionality and integration within the human body. Additionally, ethical considerations and regulatory hurdles may also pose barriers to the successful use of stem cells from other species in human therapies.
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
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).
Are stem cells safe?
Research is still being conducted on stem cells. They\'re mostly safe, but side effects could include rejection, cancer, or death.
What are adult stem cells and what could you use them for?
Stem cells are those which could make up new tissues. Eg. bone marrow stem cells make up blood organelles. Adult stem cells could be used to make tissue that could then be transplanted into human beings.
Can stem cells possibly live on after you die if body is not cremated?
Stem cells can live on after you die if your body is not cremated. Researchers say stem cells can remain alive for at least 17 days after death.
Why is a stem cell different to a normal cell?
stem cells are undifferentiated cells which could be totipotent as well as pluripotent.

What is the debate about stem cells?
Scientists believe stem cells from human embryos could hold the key to treatments and cures for disease. Basically it is a debate about stem cell research.
What would prevent stem cells from other species being successful in humans?
The main challenges with using stem cells from other species in humans include potential rejection by the immune system, risk of introducing infections or diseases, and differences in genetic and biological factors that could affect their functionality and integration within the human body. Additionally, ethical considerations and regulatory hurdles may also pose barriers to the successful use of stem cells from other species in human therapies.
How might stem cells most likely be used in the future to treat human diseases?
Stem cells could potentially be used as a source of renewable healthy cells and tissues.
How could stem cell research affect community?
Stell cell research is broken up into a few parts, embryonic stem cell research which is the controversial one in which they take the cells of an embryo resulting in its death, adult stem cell research, in which scientists would take the cells of a human being (difference between embryonic and adult stem cell researches is that adult stem cell research is when cells are taken anytime after birth). Finally, there is another type of stem cell research called induced pluripotent stem cell research where they, in simple terms, genetically reprogram cells to be other types of cells. This does not involve the death of an embryo. The difference in these types is that embryonic can produce many types of cells, adult produces only a few, and induced pluripotent does the same as embryonic. This research could affect the community in that we would be able regenerate types of cells that otherwise would not be able to such as brain and heart cells. This would be beneficial because this would possibly allow the cure to diseases and health issues that they're currently is no cure for, an example being Alzheimer's (spelling?). This could lead to longer life spans possibly (after much research and time) close to what we consider eternal life, with obviously replacing cells repeatedly which would be very costly to a bank account. Some opponents of stem cell research fear that it could have negative effects on the community. Human cloning is a theoretical possibility of stem cell research that could have big impacts on the way we view one another. Another criticism is the source of stem cells, of which certain types cause the death of an embryo. Anti-abortionists believe that this murder.
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.
How long do stem sells last within a human?
Theoretically, with the proper preservation in a lab, stem cells may last indefinitely. The first cell lines still exist. In the body, one produces undifferentiated cells in their marrow up until death.
