Match the following descriptions to the correct type of stem cells (page 583 of the text).

Adult stem cells

Pluripotent cells

multipotent cells

These cells are isolated from inner mass of pre-implantation embryos

The cells can be identified through their ability to form teratomas

The cells can be isolated from specific anatomical niches and are capable of differentiation into a small number of cell types.

Which of the following statements about stem cells are true.

CHECK ALL THAT APPLY

When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function.
Stem cells are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through cell division, sometimes after long periods of inactivity.
Stem cells, under certain physiologic or experimental conditions, can be induced to become tissue- or organ-specific cells with special functions.
Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into only one single cell type in the body during early life and growth.

Stem cells are currently being used to treat some forms of agerelated

macular degeneration (AMD). When placed in the retina,

these unspecialized cells divide and assume the roles of the

damaged retinal cells. How might stem cell therapy be used to treat

damage to other senses, such as noise-related damage to hearing?

What would be some challenges to this approach?
