Stem Cell: An undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism that is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type, and from which certain other kinds of cells arise by differentiation.
Stemware: Fancy glasses for drinkin' hooch, especially when one finishes cancer treatment.
Thanks to more than a dozen gal pals, I have a beautiful new collection of assorted stemware glasses for sipping Manhattans, champagne or margaritas; toasting special occasions; and envisioning the production of millions of stem cells.
I've learned at least two things from the first botched stem cell mission:
When envisioning stem cell production, don't picture the stemware swirling (and then clashing) in space. And ask for a blood heater to prevent 70 degree blood from surging through the veins.
Manhattan, anyone?
