Stem cells has the capability to regenerate and develop into any kind of tissue or organ, when supported with the external nutrients. So they are called as totipotent.
There are two kinds of stem cell
a)adult stem cells
b)embryonic stem cells.
There are various researches going on in this area .
they are unipotent
A stem cell can develop into other types of 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.
Fetal tissues are not the only source of stem cells. Stem cells can also be found in other sources such as bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, and adult tissues like adipose tissue. These sources provide alternative options for stem cell research and therapy.
Therapeutic cloning is important to enhance the understanding of stem cells and how they and other cells develop.

Stem cells. that is why they are needed for research
they are unipotent
Cord stem cells are exactly like normal stem cells, but they do come from an aborted fetus like most stem cells. Just like normal stem cells, they can be used to create any other cell needed in the human body.
Fetal tissues are not the only source of stem cells. Stem cells can also be found in other sources such as bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, and adult tissues like adipose tissue. These sources provide alternative options for stem cell research and therapy.
No. Stem cells can reproduce and become other cells which may help fight off disease.

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.
There are two other sources of hematopoietic stem cells--bone marrow and peripheral blood
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.
