Stem cells can be developed into a required tissue because of their ability of cellular DIFFERENTIATION. These cells can develop specialized cells.
Stem cells are cells that can develop into specialized types of cells in order to perform specific functions.
The process of cellular differentiation from stem cells involves differential gene expression patterns, a cellular process that leads to the development of distinct types of cells.
For example, hematopoietic stem cells express specific genes (e.g., the hemoglobin gene) in order to differentiate into mature red blood cells that function to trasnport oxygen to all body cells.
