Differences between adult and embryonic stem cells :

There is divergence between adult and embryonic stem cell and the type of differentiated cell than they can become . while embryonic stem cell can be induced to differentiate into any cell type, adult stem cells cannot . adult cells can only differentiate into the types of cells found in their environment or in the particular tissue or organ where they reside . another key difference between embryonic and adult stem cells in the volume of cells that one can isolate and grow in vitro .large numbers of embryonic stem cells that can be grown in vitro that adult stem cells (Fuchs et al .,2004)
