Yes and No. The only big difference is the procedures used in harvesting adult stem cells is considered legal and safe. There's no need to kill a human embryo. Adult stem cells can be harvested from cord blood or human bone marrow. But embryonic stem cells are able to make more kinds of cells than adult stem cells.
Adult stem cells have more limited potential to differentiate into different cell types compared to embryonic stem cells. However, adult stem cells can still be valuable for certain types of therapies and research, especially when considering ethical concerns associated with using embryonic stem cells. Each type of stem cell has its unique advantages and limitations depending on the specific application.

What makes embryonic stem useful for medicine?
They can become more cells than adult stem cells can.
What makes embryonic stem cells useful for medecine?
they can differentiate into more cells than adult stem cells can.
What is the primary role of the undifferentiated cells?
Adult stem cells
What are the types of stem cells?
There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells, which are derived from embryos, and adult stem cells, which are found in adult tissues and can differentiate into a limited range of cell types. Additionally, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are adult cells reprogrammed to behave like embryonic stem cells.
How are adult stem cells better then embryonic stem cells?
Adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in some ways because they have less risk of immune rejection, as they can be collected from the patient's own body. Additionally, the use of adult stem cells avoids the ethical concerns surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells have also shown promising results in various treatments and therapies.

Why are embryonic stem useful for medicine?
they are pluripotent|APEX|They can become more cells than adult stem cells can.
What is the primary role of the undifferentiated cells?
Adult stem cells
Why not just study adult stem cells?
adult stem cells are to big to study.
What ways might use of adult stem cells be better than the use of embryonic stem cells?
The adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in a very few cases. One way they are better is that the adult stem cells can be transplanted back into the adult patient and grown. The body will not reject its own stem cells.
How are adult body cells differ from embryonic stem cells?
adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic stem cells
