Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the potential to develop into specialized cell types. They are not restricted to any particular type of cell and can give rise to a variety of cell types, such as muscle cells, nerve cells, or blood cells. Stem cells are found in both embryos (embryonic stem cells) and adults (adult stem cells) and are capable of dividing and self-renewing to create more stem cells or differentiating into specialized cell types. They are not synonymous with cells that grow uncontrollably, as uncontrolled cell growth is a characteristic of cancer cells, not stem cells.
