Stem Cells: Key to Unlocking the Future
Stem cells are special cells that can develop into different types of cells in the body. Stem cells hold the potential to treat and cure many illnesses and diseases. Research involving stem cells is ongoing and could lead to great advancements in medical treatments.

Stem cells
Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can differentiate into specialized cells. They are found in adult tissues and also in the embryo.
Stem cells are important for tissue repair and regeneration, as they are able to divide and replace damaged cells.
Stem cells are also used in medical research to better understand how diseases develop and how treatments might be developed.

Embryonic stem cell
Embryonic stem cells are a type of stem cell that can be found in the early stages of an embryo. They are pluripotent, meaning they have the capability to form any type of cell in the body.
Adult stem cells are found in mature tissues and organs, and they have the potential to replace damaged cells and tissues. They are not as versatile as embryonic stem cells.
Induced pluripotent stem cells are adult stem cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to behave similarly to embryonic stem cells. They can be used to create any type of cell in the body.
