Categorization of stem cell

 

1. Embryonic Stem Cells
They are master cells in the body that have the ability to transform into any cell or tissue.
(1) Fertilized egg : IVF
(2) Unfertilized egg : Egg donation
(3) Fetal Stem Cell : can be get by miscarriage or abortions.

 

2. Adult Stem Cells : about 80 types

  • Adipose derived Stem Cells
  • Bone Marrow derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
  • Hematopoietic Stem Cells
  • Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells
  • Placenta derived Stem Cells
  • Neural derived Stem Cells
  • Cardiac derived Stem Cells
  • Muscle derived Stem Cells
  • Tumor Stem Cells
  • Immune Cells are not the stem cells exactly. Because they can’t differentiate another cells.

 

3.Induced Pleuripotent Stem Cells(iPS or iPSCs)
