 Stem cell Stem cells are a unique type of cell with remarkable abilities that make them critical in the field of biology and medicine. Stem cell Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the potential to develop into various specialized cell types. They can divide and self-renew to produce more stem cells or differentiate into specific cell types with specialized functions. Types of Stem Cells Embryonic Stem Cells Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs):   Derived from embryos, these pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into any cell type in the body. They are valuable for studying development and potential therapeutic applications. Adult Stem Cells Adult Stem Cells (ASCs):  Also known as somatic or tissue-specific stem cells, these are found in various tissues and can differentiate into specific cell types related to their tissue of origin. Examples include hematopoietic stem cells (found in bone marrow) and neural stem cells (found in the brain). PIC Induced Pluripotent ...
