Do stem cells grow faster than cancer cells?
Stem cells do not necessarily grow faster than cancer cells. Cancer cells can divide more rapidly and uncontrollably than stem cells, which can contribute to the aggressive nature of cancer growth. However, stem cells have the ability to divide and differentiate into various cell types, while cancer cells typically lose this ability.
What are cell called before they specialize?
Before cells specialize, they are called stem cells. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into different types of cells within the body.
Where are the stem cells that replace old blood cells located in?
Stem cells are located in the bone marrow sometimes in different places.
Why do cancer cells go through the cell cycle rapidly?
A stem cell becomes cancerous and creates the tumor or other cancer. Most of the other cancer cells either do not divide or only divide slowly. The cancerous stem cells divide and create cancer cells and other cancerous stem cells. Removing the entire cancer but leaving a few of the cancerous stem cells in the body does not cure the cancer.
How are stem cells different from other cells?
Stem cells are capable of self-renewal and assymetrical division to give rise to progenitor cells. Progenitor cells are cells that can further differentiate into other cells though it has lost the stem cell's ability to self-renew. When a stem cell divides, the same stem cell and a progenitor cell is produced. The production of the same stem cell is evidence of self-renewal and the production of a cell different from the parent cell is evidence of assymetrical division (regular mitosis gives rise to two identical daughter cells).

What is a cell that can make different types of cells?
A stem cell is a cell that can differentiate into different types of cells. Stem cells have the ability to develop into specialized cell types, making them crucial for growth, repair, and regeneration in the body.
Can breast cancer be treated with stem cells?
Stem cell treatment is used to treat advanced breast cancer.
What are different types of stem cells?
There are three types: totipotent, multipotent, and pluripotent. Totipotent: cells produced from the fusion of an egg and a sperm (embryo) Multipotent: cells that can give rise to a small number of different cell types--for example, bone marrow and brain contain this type Pluripotent stem: this type can produce almost all type of cells in the body; called 'true' stem cells I know there are Endothelial Progenitors, Germline Stem Cells, Hematopoietic Progenitors, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Neural Stem Cells, Signaling Pathway, Embryonic Stem Cells, Cancer Stem Cells and Stem Cell Cytokines.
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 are different types of the stem?
There are three types: totipotent, multipotent, and pluripotent. Totipotent: cells produced from the fusion of an egg and a sperm (embryo) Multipotent: cells that can give rise to a small number of different cell types--for example, bone marrow and brain contain this type Pluripotent stem: this type can produce almost all type of cells in the body; called 'true' stem cells I know there are Endothelial Progenitors, Germline Stem Cells, Hematopoietic Progenitors, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Neural Stem Cells, Signaling Pathway, Embryonic Stem Cells, Cancer Stem Cells and Stem Cell Cytokines.
Do stem cells cure a cancerous growth?
No. But if you kill or remove the cancer, the tissues/organs that were removed can be replaced or regenerated with stem cells.
Does stem cell research cover cancer?
In any cancer tumor, there are what's called 'cancer stem cells'. These cancer stem cells behave like stem cells in that they are usually quiescent but when the tumor is destroyed by for example radiation therapy and chemotherapy, which targets dividing cells, the tumor stem cells can survive these treatments and begin to divide and recreate the tumor after the treatment has ceased. Right now there are no effective treatment except for surgery that can selectively target cancer stem cells and this is the cause of high recurrence rates in certain cancers. There are also studies that show that directly injecting neural stem cells into brains with neural tumors can directly reduce the size of the tumor without harming surrounding cells. This makes stem cells sound like the 'silver bullet' for neural tumors however much more research needs to be done before this effect can be understood enough for human usage or usage for other organs.
What are unspecialized human cells called?
Unspecialized human cells are typically referred to as stem cells. These cells have the potential to develop into different types of cells in the body.
Can stem cells be used to cure breast cancer?
Yes, I think so.
What are cell called before they specialize?
Before cells specialize, they are called stem cells. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into different types of cells within the body.
Main difference between stem cell and cancer cell?
stem cells having oct-4 factor which is responsible for differentiation whereas in cancer cells , cells continously proliferating they never differentiate, nd they also lack oct-4 protein
