Solution

Pluripotent stem cells:

  1. Pluripotent stem cells have been found in bone marrow, blood, and adipose tissue in both mammals and humans.
  2. Pluripotent stem cells are widely employed in drug development, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine.
  3. Pluripotent stem cells multiply themselves and grow into the three types of cells that make up the human body.
  4. Self-renewal and potency are two characteristics of pluripotent stem cells.
  5. Through the ectopic production of particular embryonic transcription factors, somatic cells are turned into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
  6. Pluripotent stem cells are cells that have the ability to produce daughter cells with a range of fates, along with self-multiplying and generating daughter cells that are similar to the parent.
