Unique Properties Of All Stem Cells

Stem cells have two important characteristics that distinguish them from other types of cells.

1.They are unspecialized cells that renew themselves for long periods through cell division.

2.Under certain physiologic or experimental conditions, they can be induced to become cells with special functions such as the beating cells of the heart muscle or the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.

All stem cells regardless of their source have three general properties:

1. They are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods

2. They are unspecialized

3. They can give rise to specialized cell types.
