Adult stem cells are found in the bone marrow, they are also called multi-potent stem cells, i.e. they can only differentiate (develop) into 4 main types or cells (nerve, blood, cardiac and white blood cells)

They are not as versatile as embryonic stem cells as they pluripotent i.e. they can differentiate into the 3 germ layers, mesoderm, endoderm, ectoderm. Basically they 3 groups of somatic (body) cells

What 6 places can adult stem cells be found?

6 places adult stem cells can be found are found are hematopoietic stem cells found in bone marrow, mammary stems cells found in mammary glands, Intestinal stem cells found in the intestines, mesenchymal cells, endothelial cells that line blood vessels, and neural stem cells found in the brain.


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.


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 are three sources of stem cells?

Embryonic stem cells can be obtained from early-stage embryos. Adult stem cells are found in various tissues throughout the body, such as the bone marrow or brain. Induced pluripotent stem cells are created by reprogramming adult cells, like skin cells, to develop stem cell properties.


Are fetal cells only source of stem cells?

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.

What is a special feature for a stem cell?

Stem cells are important cells found in all multi-celled organisms, that can divide and recognise problems. In mammals, there are two types of stem cells: embryonic cells, and adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, renewing and restoring adult tissues.


What cells maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found in?

Adult stem cells.
