One of the special characteristics of stem cells is its ability to self-renew or multiply without losing its capacity to transform into any other cell. Stem cells can become body cells that must constantly be renewed or repaired like that of the skin, blood, heart and the innermost layer of blood vessels, bones, muscles, brain and other body tissues or organs.
