Extremely Useful and Harzard of Stem Cells

Stem cells are known as cells that are not destined a certain function. Stem cells can reproduce themselves into specialized cells within the tissues and organs of the body. This is implemented through differentiation; made possible with a process in which certain genes make themselves active or inactive in order to "turn into" the certain specialized cell. There are both pluripotent and multipotent stem cells, meaning they can develop into nearly any body cell they desire and can only create a limited amount of cell types, respectively. Stem cells can also either be adult stem cells or embryonic. Embryonic stem cells come from the "inner cell mass" that is found in laboratory-cultured, few days-old embryos. These stem cells are pluripotent. Adult stem cells, adversely, are multipotent stem cells that derive from developed body tissues. They are grown less and slower in comparison to embryonic stem cells. Stem cells' distinctive quality of being able to reproduce themselves and essentially forming into any type of body cell they desire (differentiation) makes these cells both extreme...
