Stem cells are cells that retain the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and can differentiate into a diverse range of specialised cell types. In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all of the specialised embryonic tissues. In adult organisms, stem cells and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing specialized cells, but also maintain the normal turnover of regenerative organs, such as blood, skin or intestinal tissues.
Many countries, such as Barbados and Mexico specialise in stem cell treatments.
