What are stem cells? According to (LHCrypto 2017), stem cells are a class of undifferentiated cells that are able to differentiate into specialized cell types. Stems cells are also known as the body’s raw materials-cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are produced....

Embryonic stem cells, as their name suggests, are derived from embryos. Most embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos that develop from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro—in an in vitro fertilization clinic—and then donated for research purposes with informed consent of the donors....

The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis is regarded as a reasonable explanation for the rapid multiplication of cells in the disease. They are self-sufficient cells which seem to have increase tumorigenicity and self-renewal, which allow them to expand more rapidly than normal cells. While the...

Mesenchymal stem cells by definition can be described as multipotent progenitor, self renewing cells with multiple avenues having potential to differentiate into the cell types of mesodermal origin such as osteocytes, adipocytes and chrondrocytes. They are usually isolated from bone marrow and in some cases...
