- STEM CELLS
- Cell Differentiation
- Most cells in growing organisms differentiate into cells that are specialised for a particular function.
- animals
- most cells differentiate at an early stage
- in mature animals, cell division is mainly for repair and replacement of cells
- most cells differentiate at an early stage
- plants
- many cells are able to divide and differentiate into specialised cells throughout life
- Cells that remain able to divide to form different specialised cells are called STEM CELLS
- bone marrow
- early embryo
- Stem Cells
- bone marrow
- specialised cells (e.g. nerve cells)
- in the future may be used to treat conditions such as PARALYSIS
