A specialized cell that is needed for growth, wound healing and tissue regeneration. Adult stem cells are found in all tissues and organs of animals and plants.

An undifferentiated cell found in a differentiated tissue that can renew itself and (with certain limitations) differentiate to yield all the specialized cell types of the tissue from which it originated. Lecture - Stem Cells

Also known as somatic stem cells, they are cells that can be found in juvenile as well as adult animals and humans. They are defined by their ability to self-renew and differentiate into multiple cell types.

Cells with high proliferative and self renewal capacities derived from Adults.

An undifferentiated cell found in a differentiated tissue that can renew itself and, with certain limitations, differentiate to yield all the specialized cell types of the tissue from which it originated. The name is confusing because we are born with so-called adult stem cells in our tissue; therefore many scientists prefer to use the term somatic [..]

A stem cell in adult tissue, normally found in the brain, liver and bone marrow.

A stem cell derived from adult bone marrow. Like embryonic stem cells, adult-derived cells may differentiate into multiple cell types.
