You may be able to put two and two together and come up with an answer no one else has thought of yet! The field is wide open. Blastocyte Bone marrow stromal cells Cytoplasm Fibroblast Islets of Langerhans Induced pluripotent stem cells Multipotent Mesenchymal Somatic stem cells Teratoma Tissue-specific stem cells Totipotent Progenitor cells TYPES OF HUMAN STEM CELLS There are many types of stem cells with a variety of special functions. All are interconnected, but organ-specific. It is like a large puzzle that has been waiting to be put together since the birth of our planet. We are just now finding a few pieces of the puzzle and trying to determine where they go. The two main types of human stem cells are embryonic stem cells (ES) and adult stem cells (such as somatic stem cells). Other sub- types, such as induced pluripotent stem cells (PCSs), are produced in a lab by reprogramming adult cells to express ES characteristics. In skin, tissue-specific (or somatic) cells are more specialized than embryonic stem cells. Typically, these types of stem cells can generate different cell types for the particular tissue or organ in which they live. HOW PLANT STEM CELLS WORK As you can imagine, plant stems are more readily available than human stem cells. As a result, they are used more often in skin care products.
