Embryonic stem cells have the potential to develop into any cell type in the body, making them valuable for regenerative medicine and tissue repair. They can be used to study diseases, test new drugs, and potentially treat conditions such as Heart disease, Diabetes, and spinal cord injuries. However, ethical concerns surrounding their derivation from embryos have led to the exploration of alternative sources like induced pluripotent stem cells.
