Lecture 5: Stem cells and cell differentiation
Wednesday, 7 December 2022 10:00 am
Stem cells vary in their developmental capacity Stem cell types
Different kinds of stem cells can be distinguished in terms of their potency to produce Embryonic - pluripotent; can form almo
different cell types, Descripstions of stem cell potencies include; the human body
- Toitpotent (meaning total potential) Tissue-specific (Adult) - multi potent; c
Has potential to create any type of cell types of cells (blood, brain, liver, etc.)
- Pluripotent Induced pluripotent - engineered by sc
Comes from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst embryonic stem
Able to give ruse to all cell types in a foetus
- Miltipotent
Has the ability to differentiate into a closely related family member
Exists in both adult cella and embryos.
Stages of embryogenesis
Embryonic stem cells
Derivived from 5 day old spare human
