Unipotent
To understand potency we jave to know that the Potency of a stem cell relates to its ability to differentiate. Currently the most potent cell lines are: • Totipotent stem cells that can differentiate into embryonic and extraembryonic cell types. • Pluripotent cells can differentiate into nearly all cells. • Multipotent cells can differentiate into a number of cells, but only those of a closely related family of cells • Oligopotent cells can differentiate into a few cell types like myeloid stem cells • Unipotent cells can only produce one cell type, themselves. source:http://stemcellthailand.org/differentiation/
Multipotent
Potency in stem cells refers to the ability of a stem cell to differentiate into different cell types. Stem cells can be classified as totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, or unipotent based on their differentiation potential. Totipotent stem cells can develop into any cell type, whereas unipotent stem cells can only differentiate into one specific cell type.

A blood stem cell is a multipotent stem cell, as it can differentiate into various types of blood cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. However, it is limited to producing cells within the blood cell lineages.

Multipotent refers to a stem cell's ability to differentiate into a limited number of cell types. These cells are more specialized than pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into any cell type in the body. Multipotent stem cells are found in various tissues and can give rise to specific cell lineages.
