Detailed explanation-1: -Compared with embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells have a more limited ability to give rise to various cells of the body. Until recently, researchers thought adult stem cells could create only similar types of cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two major classes of stem cells: pluripotent that can become any cell in the adult body, and multipotent that are restricted to becoming a more limited population of cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pluripotent stem cells are often referred to as true stem cells since they have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell lineage.
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.
