Stem cells are the wellspring from which all other cells of the body develop. Stores of stem cells remain in the body throughout our life. What is unique about stem cells is what scientist call “differentiation”. Stem cells can become whatever type of cells the body needs including muscles, bones, cartilage, brain, nervous system, blood, and more.
During wound healing, cell growth, and diseases recovery, it is the stem cells that trigger the call to regenerate and repair damage tissues.
