  • What are stem cells?
  • Stem cells are the cells that all other cells with specialized functions are made from.
  • The two main types of stem cells are the embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.
  • Okay, so what are the different types of stem cells?
  • Well, where are the stem cells located?
  • Adult stem cells are mostly found in adult tissue such as bone marrow and embryonic stem cells are found in the blastocyst and have not yet committed to a particular tissue.
  • I'm still lost. What are the differences between the types of stem cells?
  • Embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into every type of cell in the the body. Adult stem cells can only replace dead or damaged cells in a specific tissue
  • A stem cell transplant can be used to restore healthy bone marrow in patients with leukemia
  • What is an example of a disease that can be treated with stem cells?
  • Are you in favor or not of doing stem cell research?
  • Scientists use fertilized eggs left over from in-vitro fertilization for stem cell research. These are called blastocysts and are usually discarded when not used. Stem cells show promise to treat a wide range of illnesses and I think research should continue.
