Stem calls are primordial cells of a human being which may develop into all or many of the 210 different kinds of tissues in the human body. Stem cells are not fully determined yet to be any particula [..]

Primitive cells found mostly in the bone marrow but also in the blood stream. Stem cells are capable of becoming several types of mature blood cells making them effective at rejuvenating the circulato [..]

Stem cells are undifferentiated (unspecialised) cells that can transform into specialised cells and can divide to produce more stem cells. They have the potential to develop into many different cell t [..]

Definition: Cells from which other types of cells can develop. The ultimate stem cell might be a fertilized egg capable of producing the entire organism. Stem cells are the subject of cancer research.

Stem Cells derived from Hematopoietic Stem Cells. Derived from these myeloid Progenitor Cells are the Megakaryocytes; Erythroid Cells; Myeloid Cells; and some Dendritic Cells.

Self-renewing Cells that generate the main Phenotypes of the Nervous System in both the Embryo and Adult. Neural Stem Cells are precursors to both Neurons and Neuroglia.

Cells that can give rise to Cells of the three different Germ Layers.

Single Cells that have the potential to form an entire organism. They have the capacity to specialize into Extraembryonic Membranes and Tissues, the Embryo, and all postEmbryonic Tissues and organs. ( [..]

Highly proliferative, self-renewing, and colony-forming Stem Cells which give rise to Neoplasms.

Unspecialized cells from which other types of cells develop. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or to become a specialized cell with a distinct function, such as a muscle cell or blood cell. Stem cells serve as a repair system for the body, replacing old and damaged cells. Research on using stem c [..]

Relatively undifferentiated cells that retain the ability to divide and proliferate throughout postnatal life to provide progenitor cells that can differentiate into specialized cells.

Cells with the ability to divide for indefinite periods in culture and give rise to specialized cells. Scientists work primarily with two kinds of stem cells from animals and humans: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells, which have different functions and characteristics.

cells made by the bone marrow that can differentiate into different kinds of cells, including blood cells, as needed by the body

 Immature cells which can develop into the different types of mature cells normally found in healthy blood

Undifferentiated cells in a tissue. These cells can grow into any of the types of specialised cells in that tissue.

The cells that are responsible for making all of the blood cells in the body.

the "parent" cells that produce the red cells, white cells and platelets, that are found in the bone marrow and in the circulating blood.

immature cells found in the bone marrow and blood stream that later develop into blood cells. They are characterized by the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types.

Biological cells found in all multicellular organisms, that can divide (through mitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. In mammals [..]

Cells that have both the capacity to self-renew (make more stem cells by cell division) as well as to differentiate into mature, specialized cells.

Cells that have the potential to multiply indefinitely and become many different cell types.

Stem cells are of embryonic origin and possess the properties of both self-renewal and differentiation into a wide variety of tissue types.
