What is the difference between embryonic and adult stem cells, and what are its similarities?
Can you tell me the difference between embryonic and adult stem cells, and what are their similarities?
Sure, embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and have the ability to differentiate into all types of cells in the body. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, are multipotent and can only differentiate into certain types of cells within their tissue of origin. However, both types of stem cells have the potential to be used in regenerative medicine and have unique characteristics that make them important for research.
