The Adult Stem Cells
- Adult
Stem Cells give the body’s ability to repair and replace the cells and tissues
of some organs.
- Adult
Stem Cells are rare, and their origin in mature tissue is not yet known.
- It
is supposed that they are somehow set aside during fetal development and restrained
from differentiating.
- Adult
Stem Cells are dispersed in tissues throughout the mature organism and behave
very differently depending on the local environment.
- Some
recent studies focus on the plasticity of Adult Stem Cells, which is the ability
to differentiate in specialized cells of another tissue.
