What is the technical definition of pluripotent stem cells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stem Cells: All cells in our body derive from infant cells. In fact, we arise from a single cell that goes on to different forms of cells. A pluripotent stem cell is a cell that can "morph" into many other types of cells. These are cells that start in our bone marrow and usually migrate to areas of injury to repair and fill in the damage tissue by morphing into the cells making up that tissue.
