Type of Stem Cells

There are various types of stem cells, including pluripotent stem cells, multipotent stem cells, and progenitor stem cells (also called unipotent stem cells). SB-1 cells, SB-2 cells, blastomere-like stem cells (BLSCs), and very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) are pluripotent stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs), bone marrow derived multipotent stem cells (BMSCs), and multipotent adult stem cells (MASCs) are multipotent stem cells. Neural stem cells, retina stem cells, olfactory bulbs stem cells, epidermal stem cells, muscle stem cells, intestine stem cells, pancreatic stem cells, heart stem cells, liver stem cells, kidney stem cells, endothelial stem cells, adipocyte or adipose-derived stem cells, marrow-isolated adult multilineage inducible (MIAMI) cells, pre-mesenchymal stem cells (pre-MSCs), mesenchymal progenitor cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), multipotent progenitor cells (MPPs), lineage-restricted progenitor cells (LRPs), common myeloid progenitor cells (CMPs), and common lymphocyte progenitor cells (CLPs) are progenitor stem cells.
