Description Stem cells are the body’s “master” cells because they give rise to all other tissues, organs, and
systems in the body. Each tissue within the body contains unique type of stem cells that renew
and replace that particular tissue (e.g. nerve, brain, cartilage, blood) when needed, due to damage
or wear and tear. Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell
types in the body. Basically, these cells serve as a sort of repair system for the body; they can
theoretically divide without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or any other living
being is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential to either remain a stem
cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red
blood cell, or a brain cell. The classical definition of a stem cell requires that it possess the following
two properties :
Self-renewal - the ability to go through numerous cycles of cell division while maintaining the
undifferentiated states
PLuripotency - the capacity to differentiate into specialized cell types. In the strictest sense,
this requires stem cells to be either totipotent or pluripotent - to be able to give rise to any mature
cell type, although multipotent or unipotent progenitor cells are sometimes referred to as stem
cells
