Stem Cell Biology

The cells that can divide in self-renewal to produce more of the same type of stem cells and differentiate into other types of cells are known as stem cells. There are two broad types of stem cells in mammals - embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. The embryonic stem cells are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts in early embryonic development. Adult stem cells are found in various tissues in fully developed mammals. Stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system fo...
