What are Stem cells?
Stem Cell is an identical cell of a multicellular organism which is capable of giving rise to many more cells of the same kind.
An adult stem cell can be extract from bone marrow, liver, root of teeth, umbilical cord, heart, gut, lever and other tissues and organs. These stem cells are extracted from different organs depending on the requirements. The isolated stem cells are then grown to large number and further used for treatments.

The collected stem cells are then grown in laboratory, when bathed in a nutrient solution. After few weeks the lab grown heart cells will resemble an immature but complex looking heart structure.
