Abstract
Stem cells are most extensive researched aspect of medicine today. In general terms, stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells of our body that has the potential to differentiate into any specialized cells of our body and also to divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. They are of two types: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. They hold regeneration and replacement power and under certain conditions they can be induced to form a particular type of tissue or cell.
Description
The potential of stem cell therapy to ease human suffering and dramatically affect disease has motivated scientists to research ways of enhancing current stem cell therapies and develop new ones. Stem cell therapy remains a new science but the results have thus far been impressive enough that scientists are eagerly studying ways to treat the many diseases that you or a loved one may suffer from one day.
