Summary<br />
OVERVIEW<br />
<strong>Stem</strong> cells are primitive cells found in all multi-cellular organisms that are characterized by<br />
self-renewal <strong>and</strong> the capacity to differentiate into mature cell types. <strong>Stem</strong> cells are still a<br />
relatively new discovery, as the first mouse embryonic stem cells were derived from embryos<br />
in 1981, but it was not until 1995 that the first culturing of embryonic stem cells from nonhuman<br />
primates occurred. Induced pluripotent stem cells were not produced until 2006. As a<br />
result of these discoveries, stem cells can now be derived at various points during the life<br />
cycles.<br />
<strong>The</strong> following are stages during which stem cells can be derived:<br />
• Embryonic stem cells, derived from blastocysts<br />
• Fetal stem cells, obtained from fetuses<br />
• Post-natal stem cells derived from newborn tissues, including cord blood stem cells from<br />
umbilical tissue<br />
• Adult stem cells found in adult tissues, including hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal<br />
stem cells, <strong>and</strong> neural stem cells<br />
• Induced pluripotent stem cells, reprogrammed from adult cells<br />
• Cancer stem cells, which give rise to clonal populations of cells that <strong>for</strong>m tumors or disperse<br />
in the body<br />
• And more<br />
