Quick takeaways

  • Embryonic stem cells have a high risk of tumor formation, while adult stem cells offer targeted repair without this risk.
  • The body always maintains a reservoir of stem cells in the bone marrow, and using or releasing them does not deplete this reservoir.

Deep dives

Difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells

Embryonic stem cells have the potential to develop into an entire organism, but they also have a high risk of tumor formation. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, have a limited ability to become cells of specific tissues and do not carry the same risk of tumor formation. They are primarily responsible for the repair and regeneration of specific tissues in the body.
