Using cell apoptosis cells change.
By controlling the expression of genes stem cells differentiate.
Mitosis causes stem cells to multiply and change.

In recent clinical trials, the London Project to Cure Blindness has used embryonic stem cells to produce a thin layer of
retina cells. Cultured as a monolayer of cells on a thin sheet of polymer it can then be implanted into the eye.
Which of the following are properties that stem cells possess which allow this process to happen?
Ability to grow and cover a flat surface

Ability to divide and produce haploid cells
Ability to stick to other cells and to have a specialized shape
Ability to divide and to differentiate into specific cell types.
