Cell is the structural and functional unit of life. A living cell is a true representative of life with its own organisation and specialised functions. Stem cells are defined as clonogenic, unspecialised cells capable of both self renewal for long periods and multilineage differentiation contributing to regenerate specific tissues. Stem cells are dormant untill called into action by proper set of chemical signals, where upon they differentiate to form required tissues. The cells are research tools and they open many doors of opportunity for biomedical & transplantation research, & restoring vital body functions. Stem cells may hold the key to replacing cells lost in many devastating diseases. There is little doubt that this potential benefit underpins the vast interest about stem cell research. What is clear about stem cells is that a tremendous amount of work is still required to identify and maintain multipotentialmesenchymal stem cells in vitro, in order to complement the recent advances in tissue engineering and gene manipulation technology.
