Understanding Fetal Stem Cells: Potential and Ethical Debates
Fetal stem cells are present in most fetal tissues and drive the rapid growth and development of organs. Similar to adult stem cells, fetal stem cells are generally tissue-specific and generate the types of mature cells found within the tissue or organ where they reside. Scientists culture embryonic stem cells from cells found in an […]
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 […]
