Adult stem cells.These stem cells are discovered in little numbers in a lot of adult tissues, such as bone marrow or fat. Compared to embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells have a more restricted capability to generate different cells of the body. Adult cells become have residential or commer...

Thus, the adult heart, like the brain, is mainly composed of terminally differentiated cells, but is not a terminally differentiated organ because it contains stem cells supporting its regeneration. The existence of these cells opens new opportunities for myocardial repair....
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...

Stem cells are undifferentiated or partially differentiated cells that can differentiate into various types of cells and proliferate indefinitely to produce more of the same stem cell.

2. Adult stem cells(ASCs). These stem cells are found in small numbers in most adult tissues, such as bone marrow or fat. Compared withembryonic stem cells, adult stem cells have a more limited ability to give rise to various cells of the body. ...
In addition, the differential behaviors of the two classes of cells were also compared in vitro by grafting them into organotypic slice cultures containing either tangential (embryonic cerebral cortex) or radial (early postnatal cerebellar cortex) migratory routes. Most of the grafted adult neurosphere...
What this means is that embryonic stem cells, unlike adult stem cells, can be coaxed into potentially forming almost any other of the hundreds of types of human cells. For example, while a blood stem cell can only make blood, an embryonic stem cell can make blood, bone, skin, brain, an...
