a regular cell is natural ???????? right?
A stem cell is a cell that can renew themselves to form other types of cell.
Example:Human egg cell/ovum
This is an example of a totipotent stem cell.
Totipotent stem cells are those cells that can transform into any type of cell.
There are many types of stem cells like pluripotent stem cells, multipotent stem cells etc.
The parent cells that are different from ordinary body cells are called stem cells. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into different types of cells in the body through a process known as differentiation. They play a crucial role in growth, repair, and regeneration of tissues in the body.
The main difference between a stem cell and a differentiated cell is: A stem cell has the ability to self-renewel and also has the ability to differentiate(to become a tissue specific cell). But, a differentiated cell don't have the ability to self-renewel(moreover a stem cell get specialised to a differentiated cell).
There are four types of stem cells widely used today. They are Embryonic stem Cells - from a Embryo or fetus. There is also, Hematopoietic stem cells what are adult bone marrow. There is Neuronal stem cells what are from the brain. Finally there is another type of bone marrow what is called Mesenchymal stem cells. The difference between Mesenchymal and Hematopictic stem cells is because of there Daughter tissues. Mesenchymal - Muscle; bone; cartilage; tendon and Hematopietic - Blood cells; brain.
An embryonic stem cell is young, undifferentiated, pluripotent, and unspecialized, so it can turn into any body cell. This makes it the most versatile option. Adult stems can change identity, but are not as versatile for research.
Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. So, they basically have the ability to grow any type of cell. T cells or T lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a central role in the immune system. So, they basically help us resist disease.

adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic stem cells

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
Cord blood stem cells come from a newborn's umbilical cord while embryonic stem cells are harvested from a human embryo. Although the procedures involved in harvesting it are totally different. A doctor can immediately removed a newborn's umbilical cord and squeeze out those stem cells. Getting stem cells from the embryo requires to kill a forming fetus inside the womb and this procedure is considered unacceptable.
Yes. Embryonic stem cells are controversial due to the destruction needed of a fetus. The debate over this is whether the unborn child has a right to life. (Embyonic stem cell debate). However, there are adult stem cells that come from adults. Scientists have been able to get these adult stem to replicate embryonic stem cell properties, and depending on who you ask, the adult stem cells have proven more useful than embryonic stem cells. Since adult stem cells do not destroy anybody, there is nearly non-existant debate with this.

An embryonic stem cell potentially can develop into ANY cell in the body theoretically without limit to replenish, and an adult stem cell is only able to mature into a specialised tissue cell from which tissue the cell is positioned.
The main similarity between embryonic and adult stem cells is their ability for self-renewal.
One major difference between adult and embryonic stem cells is their different abilities in the number and type of differentiated cell types they can become. Embryonic stem cell can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin.
