Stem Cells What is Stem Cell? Taking “Interchangeable” cells and making them into different cell types Dead Cells into New Cells Why does it matter?

Fetus Stem Cell The Fetus/Placenta Advantages Most Flexible, Endless Potential, Never Losing an Organ Disadvantages Human Embryo

Umbilical Cord Stem Cell From the Umbilical Cord Advantages Protection, Matches, Availability, Ethnic Diversity, Fewer Infections Disadvantages Volume, Time Factor, Infection Risk, Same Donor Never Twice

Adult Stem Cell Found in Organs and Tissues Brain, Bone Marrow, Heart, Liver, etc. Mainly in Quiescent Mode (Non- Dividing) Activated When Needed by Tissues Advantages Specialized Cells Disadvantages Limited Number Hard to Grow Large Quantities

Stem Cell Summary Three main types of Stem Cells Each of them have their own purpose Fetus, Umbilical Cord, Adult Stem Cells Each of these can save lives in different ways Cure Diseases Helps grow organ tissues Stem Cell research today, could save your life in the future.
