Stem cells are basically undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells that are able to transform into other cell types in the body. The two types of stem cells come from embryos and adult.
Embryonic Stem Cell
In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all the specialized cells. They are pluripotent- meaning that they can turn into any cell in the body.
Adult Stem Cell
In adult organisms, stem cells replenish the body and tissue. They are undifferentiated, and are limited to turning into various cell types.
