Stem Cells
Different kinds of cells

Learning Objectives
• stem cells are unspecialised cells found in embryos and in some adult tissues such as bone marrow
• stem cells have the potential to differentiate into different types of specialised cells

At the end of the lesson you should be able to:
• describe what stem cells are and their location in humans
• describe how stem cells have the potential to treat sick people
• If it’s highlighted in RED you need to know it – so write it down!

• Most adult cells in the body have a particular purpose which cannot be changed – They are specialised.
• Stem Cells are different:• They are still at an early stage of development and retain
the potential to become many different types of cell.

Two types of Stem Cell
• Embryonic Stem Cells– Easy to grow large numbers in culture– They have the ability to become virtually any type of
cell in the body
• Adult Stem Cells– Found in organs– Maintain the organ by repairing any damage– Their potential to become different types of cell is
more limited

Stem Cell “Repair Kit”
• Scientists are researching ways Stem Cells can be used as a kind of “super repair kit”
• Some of the conditions that may eventually be treated using Stem Cell Therapy include:– Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, Heart
Disease, Stroke, Arthritis, Diabetes, Burns, and Spinal Cord Damage.
