These modified cuts tend to have a crushed ice or needle like facet pattern, more similar to a radiant cut than a traditional cushion cut. The chart below serves as a general guideline for evaluating the cut of a cushion cut diamond.
Broadly speaking, two types of stem cell can be distinguished: embryonic stem (ES) cells which can only be derived from preâimplantation embryos and have a proven ability to form cells of all tissues of the adult organism (termed âpluripotentâ), and âadultâ stem cells, which are found in a variety of tissues in the fetus and after birth and are, under normal conditions, more specialized (âmultipotentâ) with an important function in tissue replacement and repair.
Non-embryonic (adult) stem cells. Adult stem cells have a misleading name, because they are also found in infants and children. These stem cells come from developed organs and tissues in the body. Theyâre used by the body to repair and replace damaged tissue in the same area in which they are found. For example, hematopoietic stem cells are a type of adult stem cell found in bone marrow. They make new red blood cells, white blood cells, and other types of blood cells.
