What are cell called before they specialize?
Before cells specialize, they are called stem cells. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into different types of cells within the body.
What are the types of stem cells?
There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.
Are Adult stem cells as useful as Embrionic stem cells?
Yes and No. The only big difference is the procedures used in harvesting adult stem cells is considered legal and safe. There's no need to kill a human embryo. Adult stem cells can be harvested from cord blood or human bone marrow. But embryonic stem cells are able to make more kinds of cells than adult stem cells.
How are stem cells different from other cells?
Stem cells are capable of self-renewal and assymetrical division to give rise to progenitor cells. Progenitor cells are cells that can further differentiate into other cells though it has lost the stem cell's ability to self-renew. When a stem cell divides, the same stem cell and a progenitor cell is produced. The production of the same stem cell is evidence of self-renewal and the production of a cell different from the parent cell is evidence of assymetrical division (regular mitosis gives rise to two identical daughter cells).
What type of cells have the ability to divide and produce new cells throughout their lifetime?
Pluripotent stem cells.
What are cell called before they specialize?
Before cells specialize, they are called stem cells. Stem cells have the unique ability to develop into different types of cells within the body.
What are the steam cells?
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of developing into various cell types in the body. They have the unique ability to self-renew and can divide to produce more stem cells or differentiate into specialized cells, such as muscle, nerve, or blood cells. Stem cells are classified into two main types: embryonic stem cells, which can give rise to any cell type, and adult (or somatic) stem cells, which are more limited in their differentiation potential. Their unique properties make stem cells a key focus in regenerative medicine and research.
How do stem cells differ from other cells?
Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, while other cells have specific functions and cannot change into different cell types.
How do stem cells differ from regular cells?
Stem cells are unique because they have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body, while regular cells have specific functions and cannot change into other cell types.
Does a stem cell have a function?
stem cells can turn into any cell of the body and preform their function.

How are stem cells unique?
Stem cells are cells that have not yet specialized to become specific parts of the body, like a blood cell, skin cell of a fingertip, or a retina cell in the back of the eye. The cells in animals at some point in time originated from stem cells, beginning with a single cell (the zygote in animals that reproduce sexually).
How are stem cells different from other cells?
Stem cells are capable of self-renewal and assymetrical division to give rise to progenitor cells. Progenitor cells are cells that can further differentiate into other cells though it has lost the stem cell's ability to self-renew. When a stem cell divides, the same stem cell and a progenitor cell is produced. The production of the same stem cell is evidence of self-renewal and the production of a cell different from the parent cell is evidence of assymetrical division (regular mitosis gives rise to two identical daughter cells).
How many different types of tissue stem cells are there?
There are three different types of tissue stem cells in the body. They include the tissue stem cells also known as adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells.
What kind of stem cells can develop from unipotent stem cells?
What kind(s) of cells can develop from unipotent stem cells
What kind of stem cells can only develope into cells that are closely related to the original stem cells?
Multipotent stem cells
