In medicine, several types of stems are utilized, including stem cells, which have the ability to differentiate into various cell types and are used in regenerative medicine and therapies for conditions like leukemia and spinal cord injuries. Additionally, plant stems, such as those from willow (which contains salicylic acid), are used in traditional medicine for their analgesic properties. Other stems may also be explored for their bioactive compounds in pharmaceuticals.

When using fresh cilantro do you use the stem also?

Depends on the herbs your using and for what purpose, some herbs have soft stems such as parsley and basil and can be eaten, some have woody stems such as rosemary and thyme and are not good to eat. Generally just the leaves of all herbs are used, however stems can be used when flavouring stocks, or as a bed to roast meat, stems can also be used for other purposes for example the woody stems of rosemary can be used as a kebab 'skewer' especially for lamb kebabs.
