Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells. They are found in multicellular organisms. In mammals there are two broad types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts and adult stem cells which are found in various tissues.
