Stem Cells: Types and Their Importance
Stem Cells: Types and Their Importance. Stem cells are found in all multicellular organisms. Their primary characteristic is that through mitosis (cell division), they can form more stem cells or differentiate into specialized cells. This capacity for differentiation makes them essential for renewing and repairing tissues. Because of this unique ability, biomedical research has focused […]
The Crucial Role of Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine
Stem cells in regenerative medicine. Stem cells play a pivotal role in regeneration because they can transform into various cell types in the body and renew themselves millions of times. This capability is something specialized body cells (like neurons) cannot do. Research indicates that stem cells, cultivated from an early-stage embryo called a blastocyst, could […]
