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.
One major difference between adult and embryonic stem cells is their different abilities in the number and type of differentiated cell types they can become. Embryonic stem cells can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent.Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. Embryonic stem cells can be grown relatively easily in culture.cientists believe that tissues derived from embryonic and adult stem cells may differ in the likelihood of being rejected after transplantation.
