Summary/Abstract: Most of the stem cells residing in adult organisms are unipotent or multipotent. These cells play the key role in the growth and regeneration of tissues. In the present article we characterized selected types of adult stem cells, inter alia hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells. Next, information about current and potential use of adult stem cells in science and medicine has been discussed. Finally, we summarized information about adult stem cells and pluripotent stem cells that have been described in the previous article.
