Stem Cells and their characteristics
Cells which are capable of differantiatinginto different kind of cells are called STEMCELLS. Stem cells have followingcharacteristics:
Stem cells are unspecialized Unlimited self renewal through cell division. They can specialize under certain physiologic or experimental
conditions
Stem cells then become cells with specialfunctions such as:beating cells of the heart muscle
insulin-producing cells of the pancreas

Types of Stem cells
On the basis of origin1) Embryonic stem cells2) Adult stem cells
3)Fetal stem cells4)Umbilical cord stem cells
On the basis of potency1)Totipotentstem cells2)Pleuripotent stem cells3) Multipotent stem cells4) Unipotent stem cells

Potential uses of human stem There are many technical hurdles between the promise of stem cells andthe realization of these uses. This will only be overcome by continuedintensive stem cell research.Basic research: elucidation of complex events that occur during humandevelopment & understanding molecular basis of cancerMolecular mechanisms for gene expression controlRole of signals in gene expression & differentiation of the stem cell.Stem cell theory of cancer
Biotechnology (drug discovery & development): stem cells can providespecific cell types to test new drugsSafety testing of new drugs on differentiated cell linesScreening of potential drugsScreening of potential anti-tumor drugs in cancer cell linespluripotent stem cells used for testing drugs in a wider range of celltypes & to reduce animal testing
Cell-based therapies:Regenerative therapy to treat Parkinson's, Alzheimers, spinal cordinjury, stroke, burns, heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, andrheumatoid arthritis.Stem cells in gene therapystem cells as vehicles after their genetic manipulationStem cells in therapeutic cloning
