Stem Cells

Stem Cells are progenitor cells, capable of changing into many different cell types that reside in various parts of the body, and what ever cell the body needs and these are called "pluripotent" stem cells.

Embryonic stem cells are derived from a blastocyst, which is the ball of about 150 undifferentiated cells from which an embryo develops.in addition to their total developmental plasticity, embryonic stem cells can produce more of themselves without limits.
