    can develop into multiple, but limited, cell types

    Multipotent stem cells are a type of stem cell that can develop into multiple, but limited, cell types within a particular tissue or organ. For example, hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow can differentiate into various types of blood cells, but not into cells of other tissues like neurons or muscle cells. These cells are crucial for tissue repair and regeneration, making them a significant focus in medical research and therapies.
