Stem cells are unique cells of the body in that they are unspecialized and
have the ability to develop into specialized cells for specific organs or to
develop into tissues. Stem cells are able to divide and replicate many times
in order to replenish and repair tissue. In the field of stem cell research,
scientists are attempting to take advantage of the renewal properties of
stem cells by utilizing them to generate cells for tissue repair, organ
transplantation, and for the treatment of disease.

FAT CELL
Fat cells, also called adipocytes, are the major cell component of adipose
tissue. Adipocytes contain droplets of stored fat (triglycerides) that can be
used for energy. When fat is being stored, fat cells swell and become round
in shape. When fat is being used, these cells shrink in size. Adipose cells
also have an endocrine function as they produce hormones that influence
sex hormone metabolism, blood pressure regulation, insulin sensitivity, fat
storage and use, blood clotting, and cell signaling.

NERVE CELL
Nerve cells or neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. Nerves
send signals among the brain, spinal cord, and other body organs via nerve
impulses. A neuron consists of two major parts: a cell body and nerve
processes. The central cell body contains the neuron's nucleus,
associated cytoplasm, and organelles. Nerve processes are "finger-like"
projections (axons and dendrites) that extend from the cell body and are
able to conduct and transmit signals.
