Stem cells -are biological cells found in all multi cellularorganisms‚ that can divide (throughmitosis) and differentiate into diverse specialized cell types and can self-renew to produce more stem cells. In mammals‚ there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells‚ which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts‚ and adult stem cells‚ which are found in various tissues. In adult organisms‚ stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body‚ replenishing
