a cell possessing the potential to become any tissue in the final organism.
ability to develop into multiple cell types including all three embryonic lineages forming the body organs, nervous system, skin, muscle, and skeleton
Referring to a single population of bone marrow stem cell capable of giving rise to multiple types of differentiated cells.
A description of the stem cells that can go on to form any other type of blood cell
Capable of giving rise to most tissues of an organism.
stem cells which have the potential to develop into a number of different cell types, such as red blood cells, platelets, or lymphocytes.
Able to give rise to a wide range of, but not all, cell lineages (usually all fetal lineages and a subset of extraembryonic lineages).
The ability to be able to produce any cell in the body. Usually used when referring to embryonic stem cells.
The ability to develop into all three embryonic tissue layers which in turn form all the cells of every body organ. Used to describe stem cells that can form any and all cells and tissues in the body.
A stem cell capable of developing into every type of cell derived from the endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm of the early embryo.
Stem cells that can reproduce every cell and tissue in the body, except the placenta. The inner cell mass of the blastocyst resulting from somatic cell nuclear transfer. These are the cells of highest interest to stem cell researchers.
(a cell) capable of developing into many different cell types
capacity to become many types of tissues and cells in the adult body.
A cell that is able to differentiate into any of three major tissue types: ectoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. Despite their ability to differentiate into any type of cell, they cannot however develop into a full organism.
Able to give rise to all of the cell types found in the embryo and adult.
Capable of giving rise to most tissues of the adult body.
Having the capacity to develop into every cell type in the human body, but not the extra-embryonic tissues such as the placenta and umbilical cord.
describes the ability of a cell to form any tissue in an embryo. (More? Stem Cell Notes)
The ability to grow into many different types of specialized cells.
Ability of a single stem cell to develop into many different cell types of the body.
Not fixed as to developmental potentialities; having developmental plasticity. Primordial stem cells: The stem cells present in human embryos and the germ cells present in the fetus.
having great developmental plasticity, as a pluripotent stem cell. Cells that can produce all the cell types of the developing body, such as the ICM cells of the blastocyst, are said to be pluripotent.
A cell that can give rise to many different types of differentiated cells.
Able to develop and differentiate into any of a large number of cell types. For example, pluripotent cells can become skin, blood, nerves, sperm or muscle in the right conditions.
Ability of a single cell to develop into different cell types derived from each of the embryonic lineages (ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm) but cannot develop into an embryo on its own..
Having the ability to differentiate into any of several types of cells.
