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 Extraordinary Potential of Totipotent Stem Cells
Totipotent stem cells possess the remarkable ability to give rise to an entire organism. These cells can generate both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues, making them unique in their potential. An exemplary instance of totipotent cells is the zygote, formed through fertilization, which can develop into every cell type in the embryo and the adult organism. […]
