A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell that has the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body. There are many different types of stem cells; however, they are all capable of changing from one cell type to another. Stem cells are well known for their ability to self-renew and multiply through cell division, these cells can continue to replicate for long periods of time. In some cases stem cells can be used to repair damaged tissue inside the body; when the cell multiplies it can replenish other cells, or change into a specific cell with special functions.

Nice job, Rachel. You added in some really great information such as the common name of adult stem cells being somatic stem cells. The distinction between adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells is very important when used for therapeutic reasons.

Rachel, I like how you included examples of how stem cells are currently being used in medicine. we used to have a person that worked for DALC whose sister needed a bone marrow stem cell transplant. It is apparently very interesting to see and the number of cell- something like more than 30,000- that can be gained from one harvesting is really amazing.
