Stem cells are the body of an adult in biology and medicine

The life span of cells is limited and dying cells are replaced with new ones, differentiated cells derived from stem . Stem cells in the adult organism can be detected markers present in both embryonic stem cells and stem cells in the tissues. Examples of the protein markers are : Oct3 / 4 , CXCR4 , Nanos , CD133 , CD34 . Common features of stem cells include: 1) the ability for self-renewal ( division created after the new stem cells ), 2 ) the ability to differentiate into specialized cells of tissues and organs, 3 ) resistance to stress and radiation toxicity .
