"There is every reason to claim that any part of our body might be changed into any other part, if we can find the right dials within our cells."

- Philip Ball, How to Grow a Human

Types of Stem Cells

Stem cells are primitive, undifferentiated cells characterized by their ability to 1) self-renew and 2) differentiate into various other cell types. There are four main types of stem cells—embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells, somatic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells—each with various benefits, limitations, and applications.
