What are stem cells?
Figure 1- Development of an Adult stem.
According to Stem Cells Australia the human body contains more that 200 different kinds of specialized cells, including the muscle cells, nerve cells, fat cells and skin cells. Stem cells are resembling cells that can be divided to produce offspring cells. Specialized cells originate from stem cells, and are different from normal cells in two different ways. Stem cells are capable of renewing and making copies of them selves, as well as dividing cells to produce more specific cell types such as tissues and organs. (Tissue cells can repair and replace infected cells in the body). Stem cells include the essential part of human development as they repair injuries (scars, broken bones,etc) and are included of our ageing process. …show more content…
Different Stem Cells
Embryonic stem cells are formed when an female egg cell and sperm cell fuse, the process after continues as the zygote divides into a two cells ‘embryo’ and so on. Embryonic stem cells give rise to every cell type (all tissues and organs) in the fully matured body apart from the placenta and umbilical cord. According to Embryonic stem cells are very valuable because they provide renewable resource for studying normal development and disease, as well as testing drugs and other therapies.
Adult stem cells also known as tissue specific stem cells, are found specifically in the tissue or organ. The job of a stem cells is to replace cells from that tissue that are lost during the day or when injures, such as those in your skin, blood, and the lining of your gut.
Pluripotent cells have the ability to make cells in our body layers and produce any cell or tissue the body needs to repair itself. Pluripotent cells are able to remake/create more copies of themselves.
