Detailed explanation-1: -These are pluripotent (ploo-RIP-uh-tunt) stem cells, meaning they can divide into more stem cells or can become any type of cell in the body. This versatility allows embryonic stem cells to be used to regenerate or repair diseased tissue and organs.
Detailed explanation-2: -They can reproduce indefinitely in culture. Which of the following is true of embryonic stem cells but not of adult stem cells? They can give rise to all cell types in the organism. embryonic stem cells can differentiate into more cell types than adult stem cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abstract. Embryonic stem cells have huge potential in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine as they hold the capacity to produce every type of cell and tissue in the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into all of the cells of the adult body. Adult stem cells are found in a tissue or organ and can differentiate to yield the specialized cell types of that tissue or organ.
Detailed explanation-5: -Pluripotent. Pluripotent means many “potentials". In other words, these cells have the potential of taking on many forms in the body, including all of the more than 200 different cell types. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, as are induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells that are reprogrammed from adult tissues.
