Few areas of medical research are generating as much interest as stem cells. There are several reasons why they are receiving so much scientific attention. They are able to divide into copies of themselves. They're unspecialized. And they can produce other cell types. Unlike other cell types, stem cells can divide into identical copies of themselves, and can do so for the life of the organism. Other specialized cell types are unable to do this. When they are damaged they cannot create replacement cells of the same type.Stem cells are unspecialized. They don't have tissue-specific functions or properties like red blood cells or nerve cells. They can't oxygenate the body or make parts of it move or carry nerve impulses. They can however through a process called differentiation, divide and produce or give rise to other specialized cell types (blood cells, heart muscle cells, etc.)Of great interest to scientists is the ability of stem cells to replicate many times over (proliferate), and remain unspecialized until called upon to differentiate into a specific cell type for repair of the body. Understanding this process is key to controlling the differentiation process and growing...more
