Explain how adult stem cells are different from early embryonic stem cells.

Solution

obtained from many tissues-bone marrow, liver, peripheral blood.

they have capablity to divide but to a lesser degree.

they have higher chances to get mutations in DNA

they can be obtained and transplanted back to the recepient with lesser chances of rejection.

obtained from invitro fertilization done in laboratory.

they have a wider range of differentiation capacity.

they have lesser chances to undergo mutations.

higher degree of immunosuppressive drugs are needed to prevent their rejection.
