What is the difference between totipotent stem cells and multipotent stem cells?

totipotency is the ability of stem cells to differentiate into all the 216 different cell types in the body. In the blastocyst stage the outer layer of cells form the placenta, but the inner layer of cells forms the embryo but it doesnt have the ability to differentiate into cell types such as the placenta. These cells are called pluripotent stem cells.

Adult stem cells
Pluripotent
Derived from embryo
capable of differentiating into many cells lines (any human cell) (unlimited)
can be replicated outside the body in a lab
More likely to be rejected by the immune system.
Multipotent
Derived from adult tissue
capable of differentiating into any cell of a PARTICULAR cell line."
(particular cell type) (limited)
cannot grow outside the body and have to be immediately frozen or transplanted into the patient.
Less likely to be rejected because they are derived from the patient himself.

What are the three main types of stem cells?
The three types of stem cells are Totipotent, Pluripotent and Multipotent. Edit By Camden Stevens: there are actually four- Totipotent, Pluripotent, Multipotent, and Unipotent stem cells. Toti, Pluri, and Multipotent are all embryotic stem cells, which means they occur in the embryo before the child is actually born, then pluripotent and multipotent last until adulthood. Then unipotent stem cells occur through adulthood to the rest of the life.
Would neoblasts be considered totipotent pluripotent or multipotent?
5-7 days embryonic cells are totipotent 6 week embryo cells are pluripotent
Are adult stem cells totipotent cells?
What kind(s) of cells can develop from multipotent stem cells?A. Only cells that are closely related to the original stem cell B. Only cells that are identical to the original stem cell C. Any cells of the human body or the placenta D. Any cells of the human body. but not cells of the placenta
What are the types of stem cells?
There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.
What are the three types of stem cells in adults?
Three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and neural stem cells.

What are different types of stem cells?
There are three types: totipotent, multipotent, and pluripotent. Totipotent: cells produced from the fusion of an egg and a sperm (embryo) Multipotent: cells that can give rise to a small number of different cell types--for example, bone marrow and brain contain this type Pluripotent stem: this type can produce almost all type of cells in the body; called 'true' stem cells I know there are Endothelial Progenitors, Germline Stem Cells, Hematopoietic Progenitors, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Neural Stem Cells, Signaling Pathway, Embryonic Stem Cells, Cancer Stem Cells and Stem Cell Cytokines.

Why can a planarian regenerate?
Because it has totipotent cells. Totipotent cells are cells that are capable of developing into any type of cell
What is advantage of using totipotent cells instead of pluripotent cells for medical treatments?
Totipotent cells can differentiate into more types of cells.
What would be an advantage of using totipotent cells of pluripotent cells for medical treatments?
Totipotent cells can differentiate into more types of cells
