What does your textbook say about Fig. 10.3 Process of gene therapy?
Applications of Biotechnology multipotent and can act as a repair system of the body, replenishing adult tissues. The red bone marrow is a rich source of adult stem cells. The most important and potential application of human stem cells is the generation of cells and tissues that could be used for cell based therapies. Human stem cells could be used to test new drugs. Totipotency (Toti-total) is the ability of a single cell to divide and produce all of the differentiated cells in an organism. Pluripotency (Pluri-several) refers to a stem cell that has the potential to differentiate into any of the three germ layers-ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm.
