The number of connective tissue cells in a given heart increases from 1 x 10(9) just after birth to 5 x 10(9) in adults, reaching its maximum of 10 x 10(9) in extremely hypertrophied hearts. The number of heart muscle cells is 2 x 10(9) in normal hearts of children and adults, and may rise to 4 x 10(9) in excessively hypertrophied hearts.
What else can I help you with?
Where at in the human body are stem cells?
There are adult stem cells and there are embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells are found in many body tissues such as in the brain, neural stem cells, and in bone marrow. Also the embryonic stem cells, as you can tell by the name, are from the embryo which starts to develop into more recognizable specialized stem cells within three to four weeks after fertilization.
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.
How Can stem cells repair a damaged heart?
Stem cells can repair a damaged heart by turning into new cardiac cells to replace the damaged tissue.
Which type of stem cell are human blood stem cells?

How is human tissue and stem cell similar?
Tissue is an ensemble of cells that make up the organs in the body. Stem cells are cells that can be transformed into any of the specialized cells that can be found in the tissues of the human body.

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.
When was Human Stem Cells Institute created?
Human Stem Cells Institute was created in 2003.
How Can stem cells repair a damaged heart?
Stem cells can repair a damaged heart by turning into new cardiac cells to replace the damaged tissue.
Are stem cells human?
Yes, some stem cells do come from humans. The stem cells are taken from embryos. Animals also have stem cells used in research.
Are stem cells artificial cells?
No. Stem cells occur naturally in the human body. However we are trying to clone stem cells to aid in there research.
What part of the stem stem cells provides instructions for building the heart?
Its DNA.

What is the name of the circulation through the human heart?
It is just called the circulatory system, and it is one of my favorites to learn about.
What about the application of human adult stem cells?
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells, found throughout the body after development that multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. Also known as somatic stem cells, they can be found in juvenile as well as adult animals and human bodies. Creative Bioarray provides adult stem cells from various tissue/organs of human, mouse and rat.
