Medical researchers are interested in stem cells because they?
|
|
are found in all types of tissues
|
|
|
can produce different cells types
|
|
|
are highly specialized
|
|
|
are found only in embryos
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Why is there such an interest in stem cells? Researchers hope stem cell studies can help to: Increase understanding of how diseases occur. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pluripotent. Pluripotent stem cells being used in research today mainly come from embryos, hence the name, “embryonic stem cells”.
Detailed explanation-3: -The researchers focused on stem cells because most fully differentiated cells are short-lived and are therefore unlikely to produce cancerous cells.
