What cells can become any type of cells in the body?
Only totipotent and pluripotent stem cells. Totipotent can become any cell type, because they come from a 3-day-embryo. Pluripotent are already differentiated cells, coming from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst kai can become any tissue cell type or any organ. Pluripotent can be extracted from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst the 5th day after the fertilization. This has ethical drawbacks. That's why the scientists are trying to extract stem cells from only one cell from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst.
What is an advantage of using pluripotent cells instead of multi potent cells for medical treatments?
Pluripotent cell can differentiate into almost any type of cell.
Are stem cells unspecialized?
Yes, stem cells are unspecialized cells that have the potential to develop into different types of specialized cells in the body. They can divide and replicate to produce more stem cells, or they can differentiate into specific cell types depending on the signals they receive from their environment.
What type of cell are stem stem cell described as?
Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.
Which type of stem cell is less controversal?
Adult stem cells are much less controversial. This is because they do not involve embryos at all. However, adult stem cells cannot differentiate into as many different types of cells as the embryonic stem cell (which can become any type).

Cells that can become any other cell type?
stem cells

What type of embryonic cells have the potential to become any cell?
Stem Cells stem cells
What type of cell can differentiate into any kind of cell?
A stem cell can become any other type of specialized cell.
Which type of stem cell is less controversal?
Adult stem cells are much less controversial. This is because they do not involve embryos at all. However, adult stem cells cannot differentiate into as many different types of cells as the embryonic stem cell (which can become any type).
What are the difference between ordinary cells and stem cells?
a regular cell is natural ???????? right? A stem cell is a cell that can renew themselves to form other types of cell. Example:Human egg cell/ovum This is an example of a totipotent stem cell. Totipotent stem cells are those cells that can transform into any type of cell. There are many types of stem cells like pluripotent stem cells, multipotent stem cells etc.
What the first few cells that form because they can become any type of cell?
The first few cell that form a ZYGOTE are said to be PLURIPOTENT because they can become any type of cell.
Can heart cells come from bone cells?
no, heart cells and bone cells are mature and cannot change into each other. However, a stem cell can become a heart cell or bone cell or any other cell depending on where in the body it is.
What cell can develop into many different cell types?
A pluripotent cell, such as some adult stem cells. Many different types, but not any different type as that would be totipotent.
