Stem cells are considered a possible alternative treatment for degenerative diseases. Parkinson's disease and diabetes mellitus may become curable using stem cells. The term "stem cell" is used very broadly, although it has been well defined. Undifferentiated cells (stem cells and progenitor cells) are isolated from prenatal and postnatal tissues. This review provides an overview of embryonic and adult stem cells and describes potential applications in the field of tissue engineering in urology.
