Stem cells research
Stem cells are the cells from which other specialized cells throughout the body are generated. Stem cells divide to form daughter cells with specific functions. Stem cells can be obtained from adult tissues of embryos. Research is being conducted to develop treatments for diseases which are caused by or result from tissue or organ damage, such as type 1 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, cancer as well as other conditions like severe burns.
