Abstract

The development of stem cells holds the key to a revolutionary era in medicine, unlocking multisystem processes that will help restore normal function in the human body. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the capability to give rise to cells of the same type, and from which new cells can arise through the process of differentiation. Several sources of stem cells can be broadly categorized into three main types: embryonic stem cells (ESC), adult stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).¹
