Detailed explanation-1: -By watching stem cells mature into cells in bones, heart muscle, nerves, and other organs and tissue, researchers may better understand how diseases and conditions develop. Generate healthy cells to replace cells affected by disease (regenerative medicine).
Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists can use stem cells, or tissues grown from them, to search for new drugs that improve their function or alter the progress of disease, as well as to test how drugs might affect different organs (for example, the liver or the kidneys), or how they might affect different people.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the Mayo Clinic, stem cells can be used to: grow new cells in a laboratory to replace damaged organs or tissues. correct parts of organs that don’t work properly. research causes of genetic defects in cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they can give rise to every cell type in the fully formed body, but not the placenta and umbilical cord. These cells are incredibly valuable because they provide a renewable resource for studying normal development and disease, and for testing drugs and other therapies.
