What are stem cells?

• Stem cells are undifferentiated cells in the body
  that are able to grow into differentiated cell
  types. They are broadly divided into two
  embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells
• Adult stem cells found in organs and teeth
• Embryonic cells have the ability to grow into any
  cell in the body

Pluripotent Embryonic stem cells are able to
develop into any type of cell, excepting those of
the placenta. Only embryonic stem cells of
the morula are totipotent able to develop into
any type of cell, including those of the placenta.

  diseases due to their special property of being
  forever young and adaptable to change
• It is a very easy process and can be done by
  saving the umbilical cord blood
• It is a safeguard for your health
