WHAT IS A STEM CELL?
3
Different Types of Stem Cells… Embryonic Somatic Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
4
EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS Formed as a normal part of embryonic development Can be isolated from an early embryo and grown in a dish
6
SOMATIC STEM CELLS (Also called Adult Stem Cells) Exist naturally in the body Important for growth, healing, and replacing cells lost through daily wear and tear
7
INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS Created artificially in a lab by “reprogramming” patient’s own normal adult cells back to embryonic stem cell-like state Can be made from cells that are readily available, such as fat, skin, and fibroblasts (cells that produce connective tissue)
