Adult Stem Cells on Wikipedia |
|
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells, found throughout the body after embryonic development, that multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells and regenerate damaged tissues. Also known as somatic stem cells. |

What Are Stem Cells? |
|
Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell. In bone marrow, stem cells regularly divide to repair and replace worn out or damaged tissues. |

What Are "Adult" Stem Cells? |
|
An adult stem cell is thought to be an undifferentiated cell that can renew itself and can differentiate to yield some or all of the major specialized cell types of the tissue or organ. The primary roles of adult stem cells in a living organism are to maintain and repair the tissue in which they are found. |

Hematopoietic Stem Cells on Wikipedia |
|
Hematopoietic stem cells are multipotent stem cells that give rise to all the blood cell types including myeloid (monocytes and macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, erythrocytes, megakaryocytes/platelets, dendritic cells), and lymphoid lineages (T-cells, B-cells, NK-cells). Hematopoietic stem cells are found in the bone marrow of adults Hematopoietic stem cells have a higher potential than other immature blood cells to pass the bone marrow barrier, and thus may travel in the blood from the bone marrow in one bone to another bone. |

What Are Stem Cells and What Are They Used For? |
|
Stem cells are unprogrammed cells in the human body that can be described as "shape shifters." These cells have the ability to change into other types of cells. |
