Stem cells are undifferentiated cells capable of self-renewal and of differentiating into specialized cell types, giving them a central role in tissue development, repair, and regenerative medicine. Stem cells underpin the body's ability to maintain and renew tissues, and they are a foundational tool in Tissue Repair and Regeneration. They are broadly classified by potency and origin, including embryonic, adult (somatic), and induced pluripotent stem cells, and types such as mesenchymal stem cells are widely studied for therapeutic applications. Their capacity to replace damaged cells, support healing, and model disease drives interest across regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and cell-based therapy, while also raising important ethical considerations. Research collected here reflects these directions, including studies of bone marrow and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in repairing intestinal injury, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells as a source of odontoblasts, and adipose-derived stem cells used in laryngeal tissue engineering and in addressing ovarian aging and primary ovarian insufficiency. Further work examines estrogen receptor expression in hypothalamic stem cells, circadian regulation and cancer stem cells, anesthetic effects on neural stem cells and autophagy, and biocompatible scaffolds for induced pluripotent stem cell transplantation and three-dimensional neural culture modeling post-stroke recovery. Together these themes illustrate stem-cell biology spanning differentiation, regeneration, scaffolding, and the ethics of stem-cell research and therapy.
