    GlossaryMultipotent

    stem cells that can develop into several related cell types

    Multipotent refers to a type of stem cell that has the ability 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 makes them crucial for tissue repair and regeneration in specific areas of the body.
