This article I read was about what embryonic stem cells were and the differences between them and adult stem cells. The also shared how embryonic stem cells were made. It said that embryonic cells are derived from the embryo, hence its name. Then the cell is fertalized and donated for research. Embryonic cells are not fertellized in a women's body. They also talk about the different tests they do on the embryonic stem cells like exhibiting the properties of the cell which is called characterization. On the website the also have different articles about adult stem cells and the similarities and differences. The website also talks about potential problems between adukt stem cells and embryonic stem cells. The article also talked about how these embryonic stem cells are capable of renewing themselves and can become tissue or organ specific cells.
