Detailed explanation-1: -What are stem cells? Stem cells are the body’s raw materials-cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated. Under the right conditions in the body or a laboratory, stem cells divide to form more cells called daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are several main categories: the “pluripotent” stem cells (embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells) and nonembryonic or somatic stem cells (commonly called “adult” stem cells). Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into all of the cells of the adult body.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Stem cells are special human cells that can develop into many different types of cells, from muscle cells to brain cells.”
Detailed explanation-4: -Stem cells are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. They serve as a repair system for the body. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.
