Introduction
The term "stem cell" is now used widely to cover many different cells derived from both embryo and adult tissues.
A useful guide (online PDF document) to stem cells was produced in a report by the National Institute of Health (NIH, USA, May 2000) and more recently NIH has established a Stem Cell information page.
This page also currently has some information on Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT), see also Fertilization.
Some Recent Findings
|
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell
(iPS cell) A reprogrammed adult stem cell to form an embryonic stem cell, from which tissues or whole animals can develop. Can be generated by the expression of just four specific transcription factors.

Dental Pulp Stem Cell (DPSC)
Dental pulp stem/stromal cell (DPSC) are similar to bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hBMSCs) in the expression pattern of cell surface markers and their pluripotent differentiation capability.

Spermatogonial Stem Cell
Neural Stem Cell
In the adult brain, the subependymal zone (SEZ) (a thin layer of cells lining the lateral wall of the lateral brain ventricles) is a source of neural stem cells (NSCs).
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
In 1996 Dolly the sheep was the first animal to be produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) using an adult-derived somatic cell as nuclear donor.
SCNT using a range of different cell types has been successfully applied to a range of species (cattle, mice, goats, pigs, cats, rabbits, horses, rats, dogs and ferrets. (see review[2])
