Pluripotent Stem Cells
Pluripotent Stem Cells: are cells that have the volume to self-renew by subdividing and to develop into the three primary germ cell layers of the early embryo and therefore into all cells of the adult body, but not extra-embryonic tissues such as the placenta. Embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells are pluripotent stem cells.
