  • Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells.
  • Bone marrow transplant is a well established therapy that uses a form of stem cell to treat many diseases of the blood. However, modern medical research is focussing on embryonic stem cells to build replacement tissue to treat many other types of genetic and degenerative disease.
  • When a sperm fertilizes an egg the resulting cell begins to divide. The embryonic cells in this ball of proto-organism are stem cells which can later differentiate into any of the body's tissue types. They even produce the solid bone which fills the skulls of American Christian fundamentalists.
  • Stem cells were a type of cell found in most multi-cellular organisms, which were characterized by their ability to differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types. In 2377, The Doctor used embryonic stem cells from the then-unborn Miral Paris to create an antivirus to cure nehret, a retrovirus which had infected the Klingon sect members who had traveled to the Delta Quadrant in search of the kuvah'magh.
