**What cells have the unique ability to develop into other cell types? ** Our body is made up of many different types of cells, most of which are ‘specialized’ – with different functions. E.g., [red blood cells](https://t.me/askmenow/3038) are specialized to carry oxygen in the blood, while some gut cells are specialized to absorb nutrients from [food](https://t.me/askmenow/3374). However, there are also **stem cells** that **have the unique ability to develop into other specialized cell types**. Stem cells are different from other cells in several ways: ✔️ They can divide and renew themselves over a long time ✔️ They are unspecialized, so they cannot do specific functions in the body ✔️ In a developing embryo, they can develop into any type of cell. ✔️ Once the body is grown, they can develop into specific cell types, to replace old or damaged cells. ℹ️ The concept of a stem cell was first proposed by [researchers](https://t.me/askmenow/3673) working on embryonic development in the nineteenth century. They saw such cells as the starting point for [biological processes](https://t.me/askmenow/3487). Subscribe- t.me/askmenow
