where can stem cells be found in human body
A stem cell is essentially the building block of the human body. Stem cells are capable of dividing for long periods of time, are unspecialized, but can develop into specialized cells. The earliest stem cells in the human body are those found in the human embryo.The stem cells inside an embryo will eventually give rise to every cell, tissue and organ in the fetus's body. Unlike a regular cell, which can only replicate to create more of its own kind of cell, a stem cell is pluripotent. Embryonic stem cells-Embryonic stem cells include those found within the embryo, the fetus or the umbilical cord blood. 2  Depending upon when they are harvested, embryonic stem cells can give rise to just about any cell in the human body.
