    Glossary Stem Cell Plasticity

    ability of stem cells to become different cell types

    Stem cell plasticity, also known as stem cell flexibility or adaptability, refers to the ability of stem cells to differentiate into a variety of cell types beyond their original lineage. For example, a stem cell from the bone marrow, which typically produces blood cells, might be able to transform into a nerve cell or a muscle cell under certain conditions. This characteristic is crucial for regenerative medicine and therapies aimed at repairing damaged tissues or treating diseases like alopecia, where hair follicle stem cells might be harnessed to regenerate hair.
