Stem Cells and Life Science Industry
Stem cells are cells that have the potential to become different types of cells in the body. They can divide and regenerate themselves into specialized cells such as muscle cells, nerve cells, or blood cells. Stem cells can be obtained from embryos, adult tissues, or umbilical cord blood.
