Embryonic Stem Cells – Definition, Uses, and Limitations

By Leave a Comment

Embryonic stem cells are cells that can give rise to all of the tissues types that form a human being. These stem cells are being used in drug development, toxicology testing, and disease reversal, as well as to grow healthy new tissue to heal injuries.

While they are powerful cells, embryonic stem cells are controversial to produce, because they are created from human embryos. For this reason, they have limited use and receive restricted funding. Learn more about these cells below. [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment

Perinatal stem cells are those derived right before or after birth. They include those derived from the umbilical cord blood and tissue, placental blood and tissue, and amniotic tissue and fluid.

When stem cells were first identified, only two types of stem cells were described: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Today, a diverse range of stem cells exist, because the diversity of adult stem cell types has substantially expanded and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have since been discovered.
