Overview

Stem cells are undifferentiated or partially differentiated cells that can both renew themselves through division and differentiate into one or more specialized cell types, making them a foundational subject in developmental biology and regenerative medicine. Stem cells are classified by their developmental potency and tissue of origin. Embryonic stem cells, derived from the early embryo, are pluripotent and can give rise to virtually any cell type, whereas adult (somatic) stem cells, such as mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells, are typically multipotent and maintain or repair the tissues in which they reside. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are mature cells reprogrammed to an embryonic-like state, providing an ethically less contested source for research and modeling. Their capacities for self-renewal, differentiation, and tissue repair underpin investigations into cancer, neural injury, organ regeneration, and disease modeling, as well as the wider field of cell-based therapy. Key research themes include mesenchymal stem cells from sources such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord; the role of stem cells in cancer biology; neural and pluripotent stem cells for modeling injury and recovery; tissue engineering with scaffolds; and the regulation of stemness genes. Studies published in this area span these topics, including adipose- and bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, cancer stem cells, neural stem cell responses, iPSC scaffolds for stroke modeling, and regenerative-medicine applications.
