Stem cells are the earliest type of cell, found in both embryonic and adult organisms.
Through differentiation , they can become virtually any type of cell in the human body.
That ability makes them a potentially powerful therapeutic tool, with scientists working in recent years to learn how to differentiate stem cells into cells of specific therapeutic need, from bone marrow transplants to perhaps some day replacing damaged or lost cells involved in everything from baldness reversal to dementia and heart disease.
