What are Stem Cells? Stem cells are one kind of cell found in your body. Stem cells

are “blank” cells. They turn into the different cells in your body. Stem cells can turn into the skin, blood, bone, and brain cells.

Some scientists were studying stem cells, and now these scientists think that stem cells can cure diseases. Scientists found ways to make the stem cells grow hair, for bald people, and organs like livers and kidneys, for people whose organs don't work anymore. These scientists are finding more and more things to do with stem cells.

A Little More About Stem Cells

Embryos usually form inside the mother's body and then grow into healthy babies. Scientific researchers, however, have learned how to form embryos outside the body, in a laboratory. This has been a wonderful development for mothers and fathers who have been unsuccessful in having a baby. Scientists can develop embryos and then implant them in the mother to grow into normal, healthy babies. This means many couples who couldn't have babies now can.
