摘要: Quiescence, self-renewal, asymmetric division, and niche dependence are important stem cell properties, but not specific. Similarly, multipotency is often found in committed progenitor cells. By contrast, cells unique their pluripotency relatively high plasticity. Pluripotent stand out, profoundly differ from all other that exist the organism. On basis of these observations, an alternative definition stemness presented next chapter.
