Stem cells are basic cells that can become almost any type of cell in the body under specific conditions.
Embryonic stem cells are derived from the undifferentiated inner mass cells of a human embryo they are pluripotent, meaning they are able to grow.
Tissue stem cells are undifferentiated cell, capable of proliferation, self-renewal, production of a large number of differentiated functional progeny, regenerating tissue after injury.
