Stem cells are cells found in all multi-cellular organisms. They retain the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and can differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types.

Stem cells are primal, undifferentiated cells which have the unique potential to produce any kind of cell in the body.
A stem cell is a specific type of cell in the body that has the potential to form many different cell types.
stem cells
The common, self-regenerating cells in the marrow of long bones that give rise, by differentiation and division, to red blood cells and all of the different types of white blood cells.

stem cell [L. cella - compartment]. An undifferentiated cell that is mitotically active in either replacing dying body cells (somatic stem cell) or producing gametes (germinal stem cell).

Undifferentiated, primitive cells in the bone marrow with the ability both to multiply and to differentiate into specific blood cells.

In a collaborative effort, we have begun the identification and characterization of the transcripts produced in the mouse hematopoietic stem cell.
There are many approaches to these issues, but we have concentrated on understanding how a single mammalian gene cluster is activated or silenced as stem cells undergo lineage commitment, differentiation and maturation.
They are made from stem cells in bone marrow. There are five types of leukocytes, important components of the immune system. Neutrophils enter the tissue fluid by squeezing through capillary walls and phagocytozing foreign substances.

The cells outwards from a particular basal cell are often derived from this cell or a nearby one so that columns of cells exist running outwards from the stem cell in the basal layer from which they were derived.
After the cells were replaced, many of the cells contained the gene. White blood cells, however, are short-lived and a long-term solution is to apply this technique to the cells that produce the white blood cells (called stem cells).
