GlossaryPluripotent

ability to develop into nearly any cell type

Pluripotent refers to the ability of a stem cell to develop into almost any type of cell in the body. These cells can give rise to various cell types, including skin, hair, and organ tissues, making them crucial for regenerative medicine and research into conditions like alopecia.
