What is the difference between totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent?

March 1, 2020 By Cade Hildreth (CEO)

totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent

When learning about stem cells, a common question is, what is the difference between totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent cells? The answer is simple.

The key differences between these cells are:

  1. When each appears during the process of human development.
  2. Their degree of “flexibility” to become other cell types.

The key similarity is that all three of these cells types are characterized by self-renewal and the capacity to turn into into mature cell types. Together, they form the 200+ cell types that create a human being.

Let’s dive deeper into these differences below.

Totipotent Stem Cells

Totipotent stem cells are the most versatile stem cell type, because they are formed shortly after fertilization of an egg cell by a sperm cell. They can become all of the cells of the human body, as well as the cells of the embryo and developing fetus.

At about four days into development, these totipotent cells specialize slightly, becoming pluripotent stem cells. [Read more…]

Cord Blood Banking Dynamics within India? Cesca Therapeutics’ Indian Subsidiary Expands

March 31, 2016 By Cade Hildreth (CEO)

Cord Blood Banking Dynamics within India? Cesca Therapeutics’ Indian Subsidiary Expands

The cord blood banking market is an interesting market, as its rate of growth has slowed over the past couple years. When the market is assessed by the number of cord blood units stored, cord tissue units banked, and number of units transplanted, there are regions that are experiencing growth and regions in decline. In particular, cord blood markets are experiencing strong growth within Asia, are relatively flat within North America, and are in decline within Europe. Additionally, cord blood banks within Europe have been some of the most proactive banks to expand into other areas of stem cell storage. [Read more…]
