A member asked:

What is the definition or description of: differentiated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: The process by which cells become progressively more specialized; a normal process through which cells mature. This process of specialization for the cell comes at the expense of its breadth of potential. Stem cells can, for example, differentiate into secretory cells in the intestine.
