Detailed explanation-1: -ASCs are undifferentiated cells found living within specific differentiated tissues in our bodies that can renew themselves or generate new cells that can replenish dead or damaged tissue. You may also see the term “somatic stem cell” used to refer to adult stem cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adult stem cells, also called somatic stem cells, are undifferentiated cells that are found in many different tissues throughout the body of nearly all organisms, including humans.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pluripotent stem cells are undifferentiated; they do not have any tissue-specific characteristics (such as morphology or gene expression pattern) that allow them to perform specialized functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Our body develops from a single cell called a zygote. The zygote is an undifferentiated cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -A totipotent cell refers to an undifferentiated cell which can grow into a system or a whole plant. The totipotent cells have enormous cytoplasm and an active nucleus that allows for the rapid division. For example, the growth hormones are handled with a callus to enable cell division and differentiation.
