Description:	The quintessential stem cell is the embryonal stem (ES) cell which has unlimited selfrenewal and multipotent differentiation potential. Stem cells have also been identified in most tissues. Compared with ES cells, tissue specific stem cells have less self-renewal ability and, although they differentiate into multiple lineages, they are not multipotent. A large number of recent published studies have suggested that tissue specific stem cells may have the ability to generate cells of tissues from unrelated organs.
