Human Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC): Unlocking the Potential of Pluripotency
Human embryonic stem cells (ESC) are derived from a structure formed just days after a sperm fertilizes an egg. These cells have the remarkable ability to develop into any cell type in the body. What Do We Know? Firstly, human embryonic stem cells (ESC) are pluripotent, meaning they can become any other cell type in […]

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 […]
Stem Cells or Somatic Cells: Understanding the Essence
Stem Cells Regenerative Medicine. The term “stem cells” originates from the word “stem,” signifying the trunk of a tree. Hence often referred to as “somatic cells.” It’s crucial to highlight the unique ability of these cells to undergo asymmetric division, resulting in two daughter cells. One retains the original stem cell properties. While the other […]
