Pluripotent cells are a type of stem cell that can develop into almost any cell type in the body. They have the unique ability to differentiate into cells from all three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. This makes them essential for research in regenerative medicine and developmental biology. These cells can be derived from various sources, including embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). While embryonic stem cells are obtained from early embryos, iPSCs are created by reprogramming adult cells. Both types hold great potential for treating diseases and understanding human development.
