They can migrate to the site of infection or damage in the body and transform into any kind of cell that will fight it off. With the research that James Thomson and John Gearhart did‚ the scientific

Stem Cells and the Future of Developmental Medicine Stem cells have a remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. Stem cells undergo processes to form new types of cells which can have a specialized function. According to this function‚ lives could be saved by the formation of new tissues and organs. Some of the specialized cells are muscle cells‚ brain cells or blood cells. Although stem cell research is debatable due to moral concerns
