They’re the human body’s built-in repair system and can theoretically divide without limit in order to replenish or repair other cells that have died or been damaged. But not all stem cells are equal. Researchers believe when an embryonic stem cell divides, each new cell has the amazing potential of becoming any other kind of cell in the body ... a brain cell, muscle cell or islet cell. That’s why this area of science is so promising and could revolutionize how we treat a myriad of diseases, conditions and disabilities. While the promise is high, the facts about embryonic and adult stem cell research are oftentimes confused or distorted. UNMC’s Mini-Medical School explores why this science is so exciting. Experts in stem cell research, Thomas Rosenquist, Ph.D. and David Crouse, Ph.D. outline the history behind the research and explain the difference between embryonic and adult stem cells, their function and potential.
