∙ 13y agoA 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.

What does pluripotent mean?
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
What are undifferentiated cells known as?
Hematopoietic stem cells
What type of cell can differentiate into any kind of cell?
A stem cell can become any other type of specialized cell.
A stem cell differentiates by making what?
A stem cell differentiates by making protein. The stem cell slowly changes itself into a specific cell type when it makes protein.
What is difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells?
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.
What is hemopoeisis?
The process of blood cell replacement not just erythrocytes (red blood cells) from a pluripotential Hematopoietic stem cell.
What do stem cell look like?
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.
What does pluripotent mean?
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.

What you mean by stem cell culture?
The stem cell "culture" is the medium in which the stem cell is able to divide and grow.
What are undifferentiated cells known as?
Hematopoietic stem cells
What type of cell can differentiate into any kind of cell?
A stem cell can become any other type of specialized cell.
What is the process by which a stem cell a stem cell becomes a specific type of cell called?
A
What type of plant cell is undifferentiated?
Stem Cell

stem cell therapy of arthritis
A stem cell differentiates by making what?
A stem cell differentiates by making protein. The stem cell slowly changes itself into a specific cell type when it makes protein.
What type of stem cell that makes fat and bone?
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...
What kind of stem cell can only develop into cells that are closely related to the original stem cell?
Multipotent stem cells
