If you didn't have stem cells then you wouldn't grow! You see, your body needs Stem cells because they are the master cell of the body from which all other cells, tissues, organs and bone are created.

What are the types of 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.


What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?

Pluripotent stem cells.


What are the three types of stem cells in adults?

The three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow and produce blood cells), mesenchymal stem cells (found in various tissues like bone marrow and fat, can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells), and neural stem cells (found in the brain and spinal cord, can differentiate into neurons and supporting cells).


What type of cell are stem stem cell described as?

Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.


What are the three main types of stem cells?

The three types of stem cells are Totipotent, Pluripotent and Multipotent. Edit By Camden Stevens: there are actually four- Totipotent, Pluripotent, Multipotent, and Unipotent stem cells. Toti, Pluri, and Multipotent are all embryotic stem cells, which means they occur in the embryo before the child is actually born, then pluripotent and multipotent last until adulthood. Then unipotent stem cells occur through adulthood to the rest of the life.

Cells that retain the ability to divide continuously without specializing are called?

Stem cells are cells that are able to divide continuously without specializing. These kind of cells are undifferentiated biological cells.

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.
