A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of an integrated living unit: an anatomical structure (which may be a subcellular structure, cell, tissue, or organ), or organism over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process by which an organism retains a population of stem cells, preventing the commitment of all stem cell progeny to a differentiated cell fate. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cell differentiation. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the stem cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to its specific fate. Any process involved in preventing uncommitted germ-line stem cells from differentiating as another cell type.
