Stem cell pluripotency refers to the ability of certain stem cells to develop into any type of cell in the body. These cells, known as pluripotent stem cells, can differentiate into various cell types, including neurons, muscle cells, and blood cells. This unique characteristic makes them valuable for research and potential therapies. Pluripotent stem cells can be derived from two main sources: embryonic stem cells, which come from early-stage embryos, and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are created by reprogramming adult cells. Understanding pluripotency is crucial for advancements in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
