Embryonic stem cells totipotent or pluripotent?
Hello,
Are embryonic stem cells totipotent or pluripotent or both?
My teacher told us totipotent. But I read in the book that they are pluripotent stem cells.
Unfortunately, I can no longer ask the teacher because he is sick.
What is right now and why?
thank you in advance
Both are true. But only to a certain point.
The cygote is dead. Once Ectoderm, Mesoderm and Endoderm have developed, these embryonic tissues are pluripotent.
