Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent, depending on the number of cell types to which they can give rise. We provide scalable new tools, which include mosaic models ...

Stem cell plasticity A fertilized egg cell is totipotent and can produce both all the cells of the ... During embryonic development, the pluripotent stem cells of the early embryo produce more ...

From totipotent stem cells at conception, to pluripotent, multipotent, oligopotent, and unipotent stem cells by adulthood – every disease essentially boils down to a dysfunction in the cells and ...

How are induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells different from embryonic stem (ES) cells? What can we use iPS cells for? ES cells were originally derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) or epiblast of ...

These cells are able to divide continuously. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent ... Tissue stem cells are multipotent. This means that they can differentiate into any of the types of cell ...
