Description (Web site quote):
Stem cells are rare, undifferentiated cells that can both duplicate themselves ("self-renew") and produce differentiated (functionally specialized) cell types that constitute the various tissues or organ systems of the human body.

The potential for manipulating stem cells to repair or replace diseased or damaged tissue has generated a great deal of excitement in the scientific, medical, and biotechnology investment communities. StemCells, Inc. is engaged in identifying and isolating stem cells from a variety of medically important tissues, including the brain, liver and pancreas.
