3. Uses of Stem Cells
The Uses of stem cells can be organised into 2 groups: Research and Therapeutic uses
Stem cell research provides information on how cell processes such as cell growth, differentiation and gene regulation work.
Stem cells can also be used as model cells to study how diseases develop or for drug testing.
The therapeutic uses of stem cells involves the repair of diseased or damaged organs, eg corneal transplants and skin grafts for burns.
