what is stem cell ?

According to the stem cell journal, a stem cell is an undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism which is having the capability of giving rise to indefinitely more no. of cells consisting of the same type, and from which certain other kinds of the cells will arise by differentiation.

  1. What is a stem cell?

  2. stem cell A stem cell is a cell with the unique ability to develop into specialised cell types in the body. In the future they may be used to replace cells and tissues that have been damaged or lost due to disease.

  3. Different types of stem cell There are three main types of stem cell: • Embryonic stem cells • Adult stem cells • Induced pluripotent stem cells

  4. Why are stem cells useful? Research to help us understand the basic biology of how living things work and what happens in different types of cell during disease. Therapy To replace lost or damaged cells that our bodies can’t replace naturally.

  5. How do you generate induced pluripotent stem cells? To generate induced pluripotent stem cells, scientists re-introduce the signals that normally tell stem cells to stay as stem cells in the early embryo. These switch off any genes that tell the cell to be specialised, and switch on genes that tell the cell to be a stem cell.
