Are all stem cells embryo stem cells?
Stem Cell Researchers only point to embryo stem cells for research. Stem Cell Research Stem Cells are very unique cells. Stem Cells have the amazing ability to develop into several distinct cell types in the body. Thus Stem Cells can be used as a repair system for the body. Stem Cells can theoretically divide without limit in a living human or animal in order to replenish various types of cells. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function (i.e. a muscle cell, a red blood cell, a brain cell, etc.). All Stem Cells have the same three general properties as follows: Stem Cells can divide and renew themselves for long periods of time Stem Cells are unspecialized Stem Cells can divide and become specific specialized cell types of the body Stem Cell Research is being conducted on both Adult Stem Cells and Embryonic Stem Cells. An Adult Stem Cell is an Undifferentiated Cell found among di
