Genetics and Evolution - The Use of Adult Stem Cells Biotechnology and Science Behind it What are stem cells? A stem cell is different from every other cell in the human body. It is essentially a ‘blank’ cell and can become any type of cell such as the skin, nerve or muscle cell. It can renew, repair and replace tissue to heal injuries or damage to the body.

Mummification is a modification of putrefaction characterised by the dehydration of the tissues converting the body into a leathery mass of skin and tendons surrounding the bone. The internal organs are often decomposed but preserved. Skin shrinkage may produce large artefactual splits mimmicking injuries, particularly seen in the groins, around the neck, and the armpits. Mummification develops in conditions of dry heat, especially when there are air currents,e.g. in a desert or inside a…
