    Glossary Multipotency

    ability to develop into multiple, but limited, cell types

    Multipotency refers to the ability of a stem cell to develop into multiple, but limited, cell types within a particular tissue or organ. For example, hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow are multipotent because they can differentiate into various types of blood cells, but not into cells of other tissues like neurons or muscle cells. This characteristic is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration.
