WHAT IS A STEM CELL?
Different Types of Stem Cells…• Embryonic • Somatic• Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS• Formed as a normal
part of embryonic development
• Can be isolated from an early embryo and grown in a dish

SOMATIC STEM CELLS• (Also called Adult Stem
Cells)• Exist naturally in the
body• Important for growth,
healing, and replacing cells lost through daily wear and tear

INDUCED PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS • Created artificially in a lab
by “reprogramming” patient’s own normal adult cells back to embryonic stem cell-like state
• Can be made from cells that are readily available, such as fat, skin, and fibroblasts (cells that produce connective tissue)
