Detailed explanation-1: -Pluripotent means many “potentials". In other words, these cells have the potential of taking on many forms in the body, including all of the more than 200 different cell types.
Detailed explanation-2: -What does “pluripotent” mean? able to divide and make many different types of cells. not able to divide. can only divide and make one cell type. if it divides, it will make a cancerous tumor.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pluripotent cells can give rise to all of the cell types that make up the body; embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent. 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.
