    Glossary Stem Cells

    unique cells that can develop into various specialized cell types

    Stem cells are unique cells in the body that have the ability to develop into many different cell types, from muscle cells to brain cells. They serve as a repair system, capable of dividing and differentiating to replace damaged or lost cells, making them crucial for growth, healing, and tissue regeneration.
