Question

A researcher attempts to extract specific cells from a human kidney to regenerate and repair a patient's damaged kidney cells. The type of cells the researcher uses are _____.

a	totipotent stem cells
b	adult stem cells
c	embryonic stem cells
d	pluripotent stem cells

Expert Solution

Step 1

Totipotent stem cells are the earliest progenitors which can form into any kind of cell be it the one making an embryo or the cells and structures supporting the embryo. These are not available after birth.

Adult stem cells are good for GIT mucosa regeneration, skin regeneration etc. These cannot form complex structures like kidney completely.

Embryonic Stem cells are cells in the embryo which form on to foetal structures. These are also not extractable.

Pluripotent stem cells are cells which can form daughter cells of one specific line. These are extractable and can form cells of the nephrology because it is of one line of cells.
