stomatic cell

People research stem cells because it can self-renew indefinitely and generate all the cell types of the organ,and has the potential to regenerate whole organs from a mere few cells .
It possess two properties:able
go through numerous cycles of cell division while maintaining the undifferentiated state and generate progeny of several distinct cell types.However scientist think that this is not an essential property but due to the ability of adult stem cells to be being able to be harvested from the patient.Also this method is not controversial as it does not require the destruction of an embryo , and are not restricted to certain lineages.
Hence
adult stem therapies require a stem cell source of the specific lineage needed and harvesting a certain of it.Thus this method has successfully treated leukemia and related bone or blood cancers through bone marrow transplants.
I feel that we need to have an adventurous mind as before who found out that stomatic cells could be used for these , many thought it was useless and did not bother investigating its properties , hence we need to have an adventurous mind to try out new things and you might stumble on something amazing.
