stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can differentiate in to all cell types.

they are of two types:

1) Embryonic stem cells ( totipotent cells)

they can differentiate in to any type of cells in our body..

2) adult stem cells ( multipotent cells)

they can be differentiated into only one type of cell from which it is derived from.

They are used mostly in organ and tissue transplantation. mostly used in medicinal field to cure diseases now adays.

What type of stem cells saves lives?

There are mainly two types of Stem Cells, namely Embryonic Stem Cells and Adult Stem cells. A stem cell, for it's therapuetic values, should be bale to be expanded in any of the tissues of the body. To say in short they should be Totipotent or at least Plueripotent. The Embroynic stem cells are considered as totipotent by some writer (because they give rise to all the tissues of body) but plueripotent by some writer (because they could not give rise to Trophoblast Layer). These embryonic stem are usually used as an ideal stem cells and are expanded in culture for implications in medical use.
