Pluripotent stem cells are like blank slates that can become almost any type of cell in the body. The only thing they can’t do is form the cells needed for pregnancy.

Why this matters

Pluripotent stem cells are super powerful! They could be the key to repairing damaged organs, treating chronic diseases, and possibly even growing new tissues for transplants. These cells could change the game for regenerative medicine. From heart disease to spinal injuries, pluripotent stem cells offer hope.
