Changed rating to "high" as this is an important concept in cell biology/development. - tameeria 22:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


I know it's only a stub, but this stuff really needs citations.

[edit] Merging pages.

I'm suggesting we merge totipotency, pluripotency, multipotency, and unipotent cell. I can see a lot of information being repeated or off track in these pages in the future, e.g. whether or not cell differentiation is reversable or not. Something makes me think that this set of pages may belong with cellular differentiation, or perhaps in a (single) page of its own? Is there a name for this ("stem cell potency?") that we could use?

Otherwise, it wouldn't surprise me if all four pages remain a stub, and there isn't too much to say on each subject that doesn't also affect the other.

I disagree, but they should all be better written. I'm working on it. Dr Aaron 10:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sentence

At the end of the long series of cell divisions that form the embryo are cells that are terminally differentiated,
or that are considered to be permanently committed to a specific function.

- this sentence needs to be reviewed since it does not really say what it is talking about, I could guess, but I'm not qualified to make any presumptions, so if someone knows could they make it clearer?
