Properties of stem cells

From this NIH website, I learned that when a stem cell divides, each and every new cell can either remain as a stem cell or become another type of cells, such as red blood cell, brain cell, or muscle cell. Stem cell can also renew themselves for a long period of time through other cells. Scientists are trying to find out what causes certain things to happen like the factors of living organism that normally regulate stem cell that renew it self


Things that I would like to know after reading this article:
1.What causes stem cells to produce?
2.How can stem cells renew it self?
3.What are adult stem cells?
