Stem cells can be divided into two groups, embryonic and adult. Both types share the ability to self-renew and to differentiate into specialized cell types, but they differ in other attributes. Embryonic stem cells are derived during early development at the blastocyst stage and are pluripotent,...
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and adult stem cells both provide important resources to define the mechanisms of hematopoietic cell development. To date, studies that utilize hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) isolated from sites such as bone marrow or umbilical cord blood have been the primary means to...
As a result, cell-based therapies using multipotent (adult) stem cells and pluripotent stem cells (embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells) have been explored as potential therapeutic approaches to restore cardiac function in heart failure. Nevertheless, the optimal cell type with the...
Despite the pluripotency of embryonic stem (ES) cells, legal and moral controversies concerning their use for therapeutic and clinical application have prompted active examination of the reservoirs of progenitor cells harbored within the adult organism. In principle, such unspecialized cells are considered...
However, a major challenge in the study and use of somatic stem cell is that their expansion has been proven very difficult to control.Karl A MerrickMolecular Cell
Empty CellEmbryonic Stem Cells (ESCs)Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) 1 ES cells are pluripotent cells capable of differentiating into any type of cells of the body (e.g.embryos). Adult stem cells are unipotent/multipotent and can differentiate into the type of cells/tissue from which they are deriv...
As a result, cell-based therapies using multipotent (adult) stem cells and pluripotent stem cells (embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells) have been explored as potential therapeutic approaches to restore cardiac function in heart failure.

Since tumor stem cells derived from adult stem cells, some adult stem cells and embryonic stem cell related genes, in particular in the biological body growth and development in the process of the role of genetic and molecular in the growth of the tumor may be in the same process will play...
