| Potency . | Cell type/location . | Definition . | Reference . |
|---|---|---|---|
| Totipotent stem cell | Zygote and cells at morula stage | Capable of giving rise to any cell type, or a complete embryo and placenta | 54 |
| Pluripotent stem cell | Cells of inner mass of blastocyst and induced pluripotent stem cells | Capable of giving rise to any cell type, or a complete embryo | 58 |
| Multipotent stem cell | Adult stem cells, haematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, cord blood stem cells, etc. | Capable of developing into >1 cell type but more limited than pluripotent (usually can give rise to 1–2 germ layers) | 6,7 |
| Tissue-specific stem cell | Somatic stem cells | Typically, can generate different cell types for the specific tissue or organ in which they live. They can be tri- bi- or uni-potent depending on the organ or tissue | 42 |
| Progenitor cell | Endothelial progenitor cells, satellite cells, pancreatic progenitor cells, etc. | More differentiated than stem cells and committed in differentiate into cells of the organ of origin; can only replicate a limited number of times | 42 |
