    GlossaryMulti-lineage differentiation

    ability of stem cells to become various specialized cells

    Multi-lineage differentiation refers to the ability of stem cells to develop into multiple types of specialized cells. For example, a single stem cell might differentiate into skin cells, muscle cells, or nerve cells, depending on the signals it receives. This process is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration, making it a key area of study in regenerative medicine and treatments for conditions like alopecia.
