Stem cell is the “mother cell” that has the potential to differentiate to any type of tissue or organ. This cell is present in the newly formed embryo in the tail bone (coccygeal bone). The whole organs develop as a result of differentiation of this stem cell to different lines of tissues: ectoderm, endoderm, mesoderm. In addition, there are different researches all over the world to extract this stem cell from the patient body and direct it invivo to develop to a tissue or an organ that will be “transplanted to the patient.
