SCs are found in bone marrow, small localized collections in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, and umbilical cord blood. The most primitive SCs are extracted from the inner cell mass of four- or five-day-old embryos. Embryonic SCs are pluripotent – they can differentiate into all types of tissues. Research with SCs might lead to effective treatment for a range of severe disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, muscle wasting diseases such as Duchenne dystrophy, arthritic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, and a variety of cancers.
