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).

How do stem cells differentiate from other cells?
Stem cells are different from other cells in the body in several notable ways. They can divide and renew themselves many times, whereas other cells are more limited in their divisions. And when those stem cells divide, the new cells can become specialized if necessary. Stem cells have no assigned function in the body, but through the process of specialization, they can take on roles in any of the body's tissues. These type of cells can be derived from human embryos or from certain spots in the adult human body.
Why can stem cells be used to make other cells but blood cells cant?
That is what makes stem cells different from ordinary cells. Stem cells aren't specialized for a single purpose but can change into many different types of cells. Blood cells are already changed and are nullipotent (meaning it can't change into a different cell). Once a cell has become a specialized (like blood cells) it can't change. Also stem cells have the ability to divide indefinitely, whereas the nullipotent cells can't.
How are stem cells and cancer cells different?
it is just different
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.
Skin stem cells can only produce other skin cells. What does this indicate about skin stem cells?
they are unipotent
How do stem cells differ from other cells?
Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, while other cells have specific functions and cannot change into different cell types.
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 do stem cells differ from regular cells?
Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, while regular cells have specific functions and cannot change into other cell types.
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.
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.
What are some different cells?
A cell is a single living unit that works together with other cells to be a living being. Humans have skin cells, liver cells, brain cells, etc. Plants would have stem and leaf cells. Fetuses have a lot of stem cells.
What and where are stem Cells?
Stem cells are of different types and perform different functions e.g. stem cells present in bone marrow form new blood cells bu mitosis . In lower animals e.. Planaria stem cells present in body help in regeneration , such cell are called Neoblasrs and they are undifferentiated cells .
How many different types of stems are there?
Three main classification and five different types.three classification areTotipotent: it has the potential to become all other types of cells in the body. A fertilized egg is totipotent.Multipotent: a small number of stem cells can produce only certain types of cells.Pluripotent: stem cells that produce any type of cell in the body except those needed to develop a fetus.and five different types are:early embryonic stem cellsblastocyst embryonic stem cellsfetal stem cellsumbilical cord stem cellsadult stem cells
Skin stem cells can only produce other skin cells. What does this indicate about skin stem cells?
they are unipotent
