    Biology.

    • : capable of developing into any type of cell or tissue except those that form a placenta or embryo: pluripotent stem cells.

Examples

  • At Aleph Farms, the process of building a ribeye begins with collecting pluripotent stem cells from a cow.

  • The other is iPSCs, induced pluripotent stem cells, which are “reborn” from adult cells through a chemical bath.

  • Thus, no immediate therapies should be expected from human pluripotent stem cells, either embryo-derived or iPSC.

  • Pluripotent embryonic stem cells develop to eventually create an entire human being.
