Understanding Stem Cell Potency
Introduction
In this video, we clarify the differences between three types of stem cells: totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for students and professionals in various biological fields. For a deeper understanding of how these cells fit into the broader context of cellular processes, you may want to check out Understanding the Cell Cycle: Stages and Importance Explained.
Key Definitions
- Totipotent Stem Cells: These cells can differentiate into any cell type, including both embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues (e.g., placenta). They are found in the zygote and early embryonic stages.
- Pluripotent Stem Cells: These can produce any type of embryonic tissue but cannot form extra-embryonic tissues. They are located in the inner cell mass of the blastocyst and include embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). For more on the significance of these cells in development, see Understanding Plant Morphology and Anatomy: A Comprehensive Guide.
- Multipotent Stem Cells: These have a more limited differentiation potential, producing various cell types from a single organ system (e.g., hematopoietic stem cells in the blood).
Key Differences
- Potency: Totipotent > Pluripotent > Multipotent (TPM).
- Location:
- Totipotent: Found in zygotes.
- Pluripotent: Found in the inner cell mass of the blastocyst.
- Multipotent: Found in various adult tissues throughout life.
- Clinical Applications:
- Totipotent: Limited use due to ethical concerns.
- Pluripotent: Used in regenerative medicine and disease modeling. For insights into how these applications are regulated, refer to The Regulation of the Cell Cycle: Understanding Key Processes and Checkpoints.
- Multipotent: Employed in tissue repair and regeneration studies.
Conclusion
Understanding the differences between these stem cell types is essential for anyone studying biology or working in related fields. Remember the mnemonic "TPM" (Tire Pressure Monitoring) to easily recall the order of potency. If you found this video helpful, please like, share, and subscribe for more content!
hello everyone welcome back to another video from shos biology in this video I'm going to clear one doubt for all of
you and the doubt is the difference between toti poent PL poent and multi poent okay in terms of potency in terms
of number and kind of cell uh stem cell can generate or uh something uh related to that stem cell can generate do they
have toy potency they have PL potency of they have multi potency what is the difference among these three terms here
here is for you do not forget this because be it cell biology molecular biology biochemistry microbiology
biotechnology background zoology background this is going to be helpful for all the different backgrounds
starting with like I'll have properties then we have the differences between all these three kinds so starting with the
very first thing even if you don't know anything else just know this that the toy potent cell can differentiate into
any kind of cell type be it uh embryonic uh tissue be it extra embrionic tissue obviously a toy potent cell can give
rise to an embryo it can give rise to a cell which is extra Outsider of the embryo that is placenta inside of
placenta the embryo lives in in case of mammals in case of humans let's say our embryo is present inside of the placenta
so extra embrionic tissue is placenta so toti poent cell can give a rise to both embrionic tissue as well as extra
embrionic tissue but Pur poent cell can produce any cell type but the extra embrionic tissue PL potential can never
produce extra embrionic tissue it can only produce any kind of cell any type of cell of embryonic tissue got it
that's the major difference between toti and plri now comes the multi poent multi poent in terms of potten is very less
where a multi poent cell can give arise to various kind of cell from a single organ system for example
digestive system there are different uh type of tissues in the digestive system different kinds of cell in that
digestive system the Goblet cell is different the epith the the the endothelial cells are different that are
present in the gastrointestinal lining the epithelial cells are different so different kinds of cells are present so
these different types of cells of all belonging to digestive tract can be produced by one lineage of the cell that
is a multi- poent kind of cell producing many kind of cells from a same tissue or organ system system that is multi potent
so you have toti poent maximum potency then PL poent little lesser than multi poent so
TPM that's how you need to remember TPM remember that okay TPM uh without that uh you cannot
remember that so remember this in your brain like this the next one is regarding the occurrence where do we
find them in toy poent like toy poent cell means we always find toy poent cells in zygote in fertilized eggs right
that is the place where the toti poten cell is always there in the zygote in the fertilized egg the very early stage
of embrionic cell development is a place in fact the earliest stage is the place where toy poent cells are found then
sooner it will become PL poent so PL poent cells are found in Inner Cell mass of the blasto Cy and there are two kinds
of cell they derived from one is the embryonic stem cells esc's are induced Pur poent stem cells
ipscs okay embrionic stem cells and induced PL poent stem cells where multipotent cells are found in various
adult tissues and organs throughout of the lifespan both toti poent and pl poent type of cells are found during the
early part of organ de organ like organism development okay development of the embryo but multi potent cells are
found throughout our lifespan examples obviously toy poent cell example zygote early embronic cells
are the toy poent cells they can give rise to embrionic tissue as well as extra embrionic tissue PL poent cells
example embrionic stem cells and induced PL poent stem cells ipsc and Es both are there multipotent cell stem cells
example hematopoetic stem cells give arise to all the type of cells of our blood and circulatory system and we know
red blood cells platlets uh lymphocytes all are produced from the same lineage of the cells like that is the
multipotent cell seatop potic hematopoetic stem cells are the examples of multi poent stem cells HSC multi
potent stem cells and you also have mezen kimal stem cells or msc's hsc's and msc's are example of this multi
potent cell type next is extra embrionic tissue can these three different kind of cells produce extra embrionic tissue the
answer is that toti potent cells can give arise to both embrionic as well as extra embrionic tissue but both PLU
poent as well as multi poent cannot produce extra embronic tissue development m al stage I told you
toy poent stem cells are found at the earliest stages of the embrionic development PL poent cells are found at
the early stage generally they are part of the Inner Cell mass of the blasto and they are found in the early emonic
development phases multi potent however found in various adult tissues and organ throughout life last things clinical
applications toy poent cells limited clinical use due to ethical concerns that is embrionic stem cells embrionic
stem cells and utilization of embrionic stem cells uh the clinical application is the limited uh use due to the ethical
concern Pur poent stem cells on the other hand can be utilized in regenerative medicines and disease
modeling particularly the induced PL poent stem cells are the ones that are utilized because when you try to work
with toti poent stem cells there are so much ethical issues is not allowed to use that so the closest to that that we
get is induced PL poent stem cells ipscs that's what we can work with for regenerative medicine as well as for the
disease modeling multipotent stem cells used for tissue repair studies regeneration and various medical
applications out there because they are basically our body tissues animal cell culture mamalian cell culture are done
with multip poent st cells so not the toti poent or FL poent so the crucial difference you already know toti poent
is the highest potential then PL poent then multi poent TPM
okay uh the easy uh way to remember that is tire pressure monitoring system nowadays this is something that is
present in cars as well as in two wheelers TPMS is known tire pressure monitoring system so the easiest way to
remember with a pneumonic is tire pressure monitoring TPM tire pressure monitoring system so toti potency PL
potency multi potency okay that's how we can easily remember that okay let me write TR
pressure monitoring to poent PL poent multi poent that's it so I believe you have a clear idea now you should never
ever confuse toti poent PL poent and multi poent now ever again in your life if you like this video please hit the
