Haematopoietic stem cells,coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Stem cells can differentiate into any other cell type. There are three main types of stem cell in mammals: embryonic stem cells,derived from blastocysts; adult stem cells,which are found in some adult tissues; and cord blood stem cells,which are found in the umbilical cord. These cells are destined to become blood cells. During blood cell development in adults,stem cells develop through a process known as haemopoiesis. Blood cells,which have short lifespans,are constantly produced by the bone marrow | |
