A stem cell can develop into other types of 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.
Mesenchymal stem cells are used for regenerative and tissue engineering. More information on the use of stem cells can found on Wikipedia, Regenexx, Euro Stem Cell and many more.
False. Adult stem cells are more limited in their potential compared to embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into many different cell types, whereas adult stem cells are usually more restricted in the types of cells they can become.
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.
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.

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.
Because stem cells are the undifferentiated cells, they are able to grow into many different kinds of organs.
