Check out the amazing properties of stem cells and how they can improve future medical science

1. The Mystery of Human Life

2. 
Where Are Stem Cells?
Stem cells exist in us and all other
living animals

3. 
What Are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are a unique cell which
continues to divide and grow while the
human or animal is living

4. 
What Do Stem Cells Do?
 Stem cells turn into
specialized cells such as
red blood cells or
muscle cells when
given the right impetus.

5. 
Stem Cells in Action
 Stem cells are regularly
turning into blood cells
and bone cells in your
bone marrow to replace
wear & tear.

6. 
 Renew and divide for extended periods of time
 Unspecialized
 Capable of turning into other specialized cells
Three Unique Properties

7. 
Different Kinds of Stem Cells
Embryonic Stem Cells
 Embryonic stem cells
were first used from
mice starting in 1981
 1998 human embryo
stem cells are first
extracted & used
Somatic Stem Cells
 2006 somatic or ‘adult’
stem cells are used
discovered
 These are capable of
being used for research
 J Kevin Kaufman says
this is one of the most
important
breakthroughs for
conduction research

8. 
 J Kevin Kaufman explains embryos which are 3-5
days old are blastocyst and it is from these
embryonic stem cells that the entire body of the
organism is generated.
Being Born

9. 
Future of Stem Cells
Doctors are hard at work trying to unlock
how to induce stem cells to change into
specialized cells

10. 
Stem cells could be the answer to
curing countless diseases and growing
lost limbs
