Progenitor Cell

An anterior cell is a type of cell that is found between the somatic and germ cells in the body. Somatic cells are ordinary cells of the body that divide by mitosis (cells of the permanent part of the body).

Germ cells divide and can sometimes replace other cells, allowing the organism to develop. Stem cells are also called pluripotent because of their ability to differentiate. This means that they can become any other special differentiated cell in the body. Scientists believe that by the end of life, a person contains approximately 10 different types of stem cells inside their body, such as skin, bone or blood cells.

Stem and progenitor cells can be taken from patients and are used to develop many types of new cells for medical research, and recently many scientists are beginning to discover the benefits of using stem and progenitor cells to treat patients. However, this process has just begun, and scientists continue to work on developing new technologies where they can mass produce corresponding healthy stem or progenitor cells. The cells develop and become permanent cells in various tissues, including bone marrow, skin, circulatory and nervous systems. Not all embryonic cells of a developing organism simultaneously pass through the path from predecessor to maturing cells; with an increase in fetal size, some previous
