MeSH definition : Cells with high proliferative and self renewal capacities derived from adults.; Tissue-specific stem cells (also known as Somatic Stem Cells) that appear during fetal
development and remain in the body throughout life. The key functions of adult stem
cells are to maintain and repair the specific tissues where they reside (e.g. skin
or blood).;
