Pluripotent cells can give rise to all of the cell types that make up the body; embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent.
What are pluripotent stem cells?
Pluripotent stem cells are cells that are able to self-renew by dividing and developing into the three primary groups of cells that make up a human body, including:
Ectoderm: Giving rise to the skin and nervous system
Endoderm: Forming the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, endocrine glands, liver, and pancreas
Mesoderm: Forming bone, cartilage, most of the circulatory system, muscles, connective tissue, and more
Pluripotent stem cells are able to make cells from all three of these basic body layers, so they can potentially produce any cell or tissue the body needs to repair itself. This property is called pluripotency.
Multipotent cells can develop into more than one cell type, but are more limited than pluripotent cells; adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells are considered multipotent.
