HUMAN ADULT
VERSUS EMBRYONIC
STEM CELLS

• Human stem cells are cells with the
potential to differentiate into many different
types of cells.
• This slide presents a comparison of adult
and embryonic stem cells.
INTRODUCTION
PAGE 02

• Human stem cells can be divided into two
main categories: adult stem cells and
embryonic stem cells.
• Adult stem cells are found in the tissues and
organs of adults, while embryonic stem cells
come from the early stages of development
in embryos.
OVERVIEW
PAGE 03

• Adult stem cells are found in different
tissues and organs in adults.
• They have a limited capacity to divide and
differentiate into different cell types.
• They are also very difficult to isolate and
grow in the laboratory.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
ADULT STEM CELLS
PAGE 04

• Embryonic stem cells come from the early
stages of development in embryos.
• They have a greater capacity to divide and
differentiate into different cell types.
• They are also easier to isolate and grow in
the laboratory.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS
PAGE
05

• Adult stem cells can be used to treat
diseases without the risk of rejection.
• They are also easier to obtain in comparison
to embryonic stem cells.
ADVANTAGES OF ADULT
STEM CELLS
PAGE
06

• Embryonic stem cells have the potential to
differentiate into any type of cell.
• They can also be used to generate organs
and tissues in the lab.
ADVANTAGES OF
EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS
PAGE
07

• Adult and embryonic stem cells have
different characteristics and advantages.
• Depending on the application, one type may
be more suitable than the other.
