Stem cells are unique cells capable of transforming into various types of cells and assisting in the repair of damaged tissues. All organs and tissues in our body develop from them.
Stem cells are characterized by their ability to divide repeatedly, producing new cells of the same type. This allows them to maintain the required quantity of cells in tissues and organs throughout the organism's life.
Stem cells can change their function and morphology according to the body’s needs. This means they can adapt to different conditions and assist in the repair of damaged tissues in various situations.
Stem cells can transform into various cell types (such as cartilage, bone, fat cells, etc.), which enables them to participate in the repair and regeneration of different tissues.
The ability to influence the immune system, helping regulate its activity. This can be useful in reducing inflammation and maintaining immune balance, promoting better healing and tissue recovery.
are extracted from embryos at the early stages of development. Their ability to transform into any type of cell is exceptionally high. They are pluripotent, meaning they can become cells of any type.
are found in various tissues of a mature organism and help maintain and repair these tissues. They are multipotent, meaning they can transform into only certain types of cells. For instance, mesenchymal stem cells can turn into bone, cartilage, or fat cells, while hematopoietic stem cells form blood cells.
are created by reprogramming somatic cells from an adult organism in a laboratory, enabling them to acquire the properties of pluripotent cells, similar to embryonic stem cells.
can transform into any type of cell, including those involved in forming tissues and organs. They are present at the earliest stages of development, particularly in the zygote.
can become almost any cell in the body, except for a few specific ones. While their potential is slightly lower than that of totipotent cells, they can still differentiate into most cell types that form the body's tissues and organs.
can transform into several types of cells, usually within a single germ layer. For example, mesenchymal stem cells can transform into bone, cartilage, fat, and other cell types.
can differentiate into a few types of cells but are more limited compared to multipotent cells. For instance, myeloid stem cells can transform into certain blood cell types, such as red and white blood cells.
