Stem cells, regardless of their source, have three general properties: they are capable of dividing and renewing themselves for long periods; they are unspecialized; and they can become specialized cells. Human stem cells are the “starter” cells that act as precursors of mature body tissues. All human beings possess 'starter' cells that can become specialized cells, including heart muscle cells, blood cells, or nerve cells.
In the painting, the stems are needles and the glittery heads represent individual stem cells.
