Pluripotent Stem Cells, Totipotent Stem Cells,
Stem cells remain an exciting area of research but the concept is often still a confusing one for the public. Complicating the complex topic of stem cells is the separation of stem cells into various categories. One such category is multipotent stem cells and it carries traits that separate it …
Due to intense interest in totipotent and pluripotent stem cells, unipotent stem cells have not received the same attention and research. They do, however, have vast potential to treat health conditions. A unipotent stem cell refers to a cell that can differentiate along only one lineage. The word ‘uni’ itself …
You may already be familiar with the basics of stem cells but perhaps you weren’t aware that there are different types, or potencies of stem cells. Totipotent stem cells are one of the most important stem cells types because they have the potential to develop into any cell found in …
The concept of stem cells can seem a complicated one and you may have seen foreign words such as ‘pluripotent’ written in magazines or discussed on television. Stem cells describe all of the cells that can give rise to the different cells found in tissues. There are however, different types …
