GlossaryStem Cell Differentiation

process where unspecialized cells become specialized cell types

Stem cell differentiation is the process by which unspecialized stem cells develop into specialized cells with distinct functions, such as skin cells, muscle cells, or nerve cells. This process is crucial for growth, development, and tissue repair, as it allows the body to generate the specific cell types needed for various functions and structures.
