    "Stem cell" is a word that has frequently appeared in the scientific community and mass media in recent years. It refers to those cells that have the ability to differentiate into various special cell types. Generally speaking, although various somatic cells-such as liver cells and nerve cells-were originally developed from embryonic cells, the former do not have the ability to develop into other types of somatic cells.
