Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -While ESCs can become all cell types, adult stem cells are limited to differentiating into distinct cell types of their tissue of origin, and they are therefore multipotent or unipotent stem cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Types of Adult Stem Cells: Hematopoietic Stem Cells (Blood Stem Cells) Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Neural Stem Cells. Epithelial Stem Cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Limitations on ASC ability to differentiate are still uncertain; currently thought to be multi or unipotent. Cannot be grown for long periods of time in culture. Usually a very small number in each tissue making them difficult to find and purify. More items
