m) The potential uses of stem cells in research and medicine.

How can stem cells treat heart disease?

Muscle tissue in the heart that is damaged as a result of a heart attack can be replaced.

How can stem cells treat neurological conditions?

Brain cells can be produced by stem cells

Stem cells can divide indefinitely and differentiate into almost any cell within an organism, therefore, they are an important area of study in developmental biology. What is developmental biology?
