What are stem cells? Stem cells are single cells with two unique qualities: they can make endless copies of themselves, and they can mature into a variety of specialized cells. These qualities make stem cells promising tools in medicine, allowing patients to receive needed cells or tissues, or have diseased cells or tissues replaced with healthy ones. Grown in the lab, genetically repaired if needed, and coaxed to become a specific tissue, stem cells allow doctors to patch a scarred heart, reawaken damaged nerves, or reboot an immune system incapable of fighting infection. Stem cells are invaluable to scientists in understanding human disease.
