Stem Cell


Stem cell is a formative, non-differentiated, immature cell which can become specialized in diverse range of cell types such as blood cells, brain cells, liver cells, skin cells and other types of cells. Two types of stem cells are: embryonic stem cells, taken from a blastocyte or an early stage embryo which is about 5 days old after fertilization. Adult stem cells is an undifferentiated cell in a specialized tissue that can renew itself to the form of the tissue in which it originated. Adult stem cells are found throughout the body. Embryo harvest by in vitro fertilization is done to obtain embryonic stem cells.
