A pluripotential cell is the property of a cell to develop into many different types of cells. This property could allow repair of damage caused by such diseases as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, as well as Diabetes, and injury to spinal cords.
A multipotent stem cell can five rise to multiple other cells but is limited somewhat by class of cell it can give rise to. For instance there is a hemiopotent blood stem cell that gives to a few types of blood cells.
Placental stem cells are multipotent, thereby increasing their versatility in research.
they can only produce cells that are like themselves
The blood cell begin their lives in the bone marrow from a single type of cell called pluripotent hematopoietic stem cell.All the circulating blood cells are eventually derived from PHSC.
Pluripotent - adjective - Term which describes the ability of a progenitor cell to differentiate into a finite number of other cell types. For example, hematopoietic stem cells can differentiate into any of the red or white blood cell types, but can also differentiate into other types of connective tissue cells, such as osteoclasts. Pluripotency - noun Pluripotential - noun
Hematopoietic stem cells
A stem cell can become any other type of specialized cell.
A stem cell differentiates by making protein. The stem cell slowly changes itself into a specific cell type when it makes protein.
An embryonic stem cell potentially can develop into ANY cell in the body theoretically without limit to replenish, and an adult stem cell is only able to mature into a specialised tissue cell from which tissue the cell is positioned.
The process of blood cell replacement not just erythrocytes (red blood cells) from a pluripotential Hematopoietic stem cell.
Stem cells are unspecialized (= undifferentiated). This means that they lack distinctive form (morphology, shape) equipping them for some special purpose in the body. The above sounds a negative description, of what they are not like! More positively: stem cells are small and more or less spherical. Their role is to be pluripotential or even totipotential, which means able to develop into any one of a number of different types of specialized cell types.

The stem cell "culture" is the medium in which the stem cell is able to divide and grow.

Technically, a stem cell is a type of cell that can be transformed into any type of cell, so any type of stem cell can be transformed into a cell that makes fat and/or bone...
