Research Notes on Egg Donation for Stem Cell Research
A reserve cell with the capacity to grow and multiply to replace dead or damaged adult cells. Some, but not all, organs and tissues in the body have a supply of stem cells - skin is an example: skin wounds are repaired by skin stem cells, similarly, liver damage is repaired by liver stem cells. Women who donate eggs for stem cell research undergo extensive psychological and physical examinations.
