Detailed explanation-1: -Totipotent stem cells are able to divide and differentiate into cells of the whole organism. Totipotency has the highest differentiation potential and allows cells to form both embryo and extra-embryonic structures. One example of a totipotent cell is a zygote, which is formed after a sperm fertilizes an egg.
Detailed explanation-2: -This pluripotent, endlessly dividing cell has been hailed as a possible means for treating diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, spinal cord injury, heart failure, and bone marrow failure. But the regenerative medicine applications of embryonic stem cells are only one facet of hESC therapeutic potential.
Detailed explanation-3: -1. Totipotent (or Omnipotent) Stem Cells. These stem cells are the most powerful that exist. They can differentiate into embryonic, as well as extra-embryonic tissues, such as chorion, yolk sac, amnion, and the allantois.
