Stem cells can potentially be changed into or trained to become any other cell as they have not been committed to any cell type yet. Because of this they can be transformed to for example secrete insulin and more importantly result in a cure for diabetes and other diseases.

There are two kinds of stem cells: embryonic and adult. Embryonic stem cells have thus far been uncontrolled in clinical trials, causing cancer. Stem cells created from adult cells and chemically switched back to a stem cell state have been used for skin grafts, nerve regeneration, and Parkinsons' trials successfully.
