Stem cells can be used to create disease models for drug development and testing. Researchers can use stem cells to create specific cell types affected by a disease, such as neurons in Alzheimer's disease, and study how drugs affect those cells.
Tissue engineering
Stem cells can be used to create new tissues or organs for transplantation. For example, scientists are working on creating lab-grown kidneys and livers using stem cells.
