How do stem cells replace damaged tissues?
Quick Answer
Stem cells can self-renew and also become specialized cells. This lets them repair tissues such as blood, skin, and the gut.
The Full Story
Stem cells are unspecialized cells that can divide to make more stem cells or produce differentiated cells with specific jobs. In adults, stem cells are especially important in high-turnover tissues like blood, skin, and the intestinal lining. Embryonic stem cells are more versatile than most adult stem cells, but adult stem cells still play a key maintenance role. Researchers also use stem cells in medicine and laboratory studies to model disease and test treatments.
Key Facts
1.Stem cells can self-renew
2.Adult stem cells help maintain tissues like blood and skin
3.Embryonic stem cells are more pluripotent
