The body uses stem cells as its basic building blocks, from which all other cells with specific roles are derived. In the correct circumstances, stem cells can divide in the body or in a lab to produce other cells known as daughter cells. These daughter cells differentiate into new stem cells or become specialized cells with a more narrowly focused purpose, such as bone, brain, heart, muscle, or blood cells. No other bodily cell possesses the innate capacity to differentiate into new cell types.

Two significant features set stem cells apart from other types of cells. They can proliferate spontaneously into new cells. That is, they renew themselves. And through a process called differentiation, they can develop into other types of cells with distinct functions. Almost all tissues in the body include stem cells. Additionally, they are required for both tissue maintenance and post-injury repair.
The stem cells can differentiate into various tissues depending on where they are located. Hematopoietic stem cells, for instance, are found in the bone marrow and can produce every type of blood cell. Furthermore, stem cells can develop into other cell types such as bone, muscle, brain, or heart cells.
Various types of stem cells exist. The most adaptable stem cells are embryonic stem cells since they can differentiate into any type of fetal cell. Most stem cells in the body are mostly found in tissues and organs, where they may only aid in tissue and organ maintenance and repair. They are less capable of proliferating into new cells. No other body cell possesses an inherent ability to differentiate into new cell types.
